Description
The Duke of Exeter may have failed to marry, but he’s determined to find a bride for the cousin who will unwillingly inherit Sinclair’s title and his overwhelming responsibilities when he dies. With a pinch of artful planning, a hint of competition, and a healthy dose of romance, he’s sure that he’ll get his heir wed in no time at all. What he never expected was that his disagreement with an old friend would herald the return of the lady he lost long ago—and that her return to society could upset his budding matchmaking scheme.
Lady Catherine Forbes, Kitty to dear friends, is astonished that her brother’s disagreement with the powerful duke has gone so far and has had no choice but to return to London to take her stubborn family in hand. Meeting the duke again was no doubt inevitable, but being drawn to him so strongly is something that takes her by complete surprise. They were never meant to be, but old habits are hard to break. Are they too set in their ways to risk their hearts or will the needs of others separate them a second time?

5By ARCreaderThis is such a good story about a rekindled love affair. Kitty and Sinclair were lovers thirty years ago, but treachery tore them apart. They become reaquinted and explore their feelings for each other. Kitty’s brother, Percy, lives on the edge of madness and provides the comic relief for the story. This is a rather emotional piece, as there is a general sadness for time lost, yet the joy of finding each other is vividly portrayed. Teddy, Sinclair’s cousin, is a hoot and it is a delight to watch him evolve. It is well written, engaging and will leave you with a smile. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.Great regency

4By michelle-454A very enjoyable story about the second chance love story between Sinclair, Duke of Exeter, and Kitty, his childhood love. They were torn apart thirty years ago when she married someone else. Now she is back and they have rekindled their love. I am eager to read other books in this series. I highly recommend this entertaining book. I received a free copy of this book from Booksprout and I am voluntarily leaving a review.The Duke’s Heart
5By AngDia4A beautiful second chance romance for Exeter and Kitty. I love that Heather took this mature couple and gave them all of the happiness and romance they deserved. I truly wonderful tale of their continuing (not renewed because they never gave up on love between themselves) love. These characters are portrayed in a way that is true to their age. No silliness, just recognizing they lost each other and wanted to live the rest of their lives together. I am still smiling. I also loved Teddy who did not want to be the heir but accepted his role of being a future duke. I received a complimentary copy from Booksprout.
