Story
They took everything away from him. His reputation as an honorable gentleman. His hope for peace. His faith in love. Nevertheless, there is one thing that nobody can take from the merciless Marcus St. John, Earl of Grandover - his desire to take revenge on the men who wish for his demise. He is so very close to identifying the mysterious mastermind who is pulling the strings in the background. But then he stumbles into a cleverly designed trap, where he is suddenly forced to marry a woman who is clearly an instrument of his enemy.

Story
As far as Fitzwilliam Darcy is concerned, the only good thing to come of Elizabeth Bennet’s bitter refusal of his heart and his hand was his new resolve to prove himself a better man. He’d done it, too, by closing the painful distance between himself and his estranged younger brother, Drew. And now Drew is newly engaged to be married…to Elizabeth Bennet. Family duty forces Darcy to support the engagement, especially since even the smallest hint of disapproval could ruin the brothers’ hard-won reconciliation. But how can he bear to watch his brother marry the woman he loves?

Marcus Reese, Duke of Exeter, has spent most of his life pulling his twin brother out of trouble. A thank you would suffice; instead, his resentful sibling forges his name to a marriage license and presents him with an unwanted wife. She's a vicar's widow with a mind of her own, and the first person in Marcus's well-ordered life to make him feel...completely out of control. Dire straits have led Hannah to the altar with a gentleman she hardly knows. Played for a fool, she's embarrassed, furious, and worse, married to an equally outraged, exasperating man.

Summary
They say he has a black heart. They say he is cold, unscrupulous, and dangerous. They say he killed a woman out of jealousy.
Robert Beaufort, the duke of Scuffold, has returned to the castle of his forefathers. To be seen with him means the ruin of any woman’s reputation. When Miss Minerva Honeyfield stumbles upon the duke in an enchanted glade deep in the forest, it is too late to heed her aunt’s warnings.
Her indecent encounter is the most exciting event that has ever happened to Minerva - and also the most dangerous one. Despite knowing that this man is ominous and menacing, Minerva is unable to shield herself from her fascination with the duke of Scuffold.
While Minerva struggles to resign herself to longing for a man who will destroy her name and possibly even threaten her life, her mother suddenly falls into mortal danger - and all indications point to the dark duke.
Has Minerva truly lost her heart to a ruthless murderer?
Romantic - suspenseful - mysterious. A classical historical romance novel that takes place in the shimmering Regency era. Perfect for listeners who like their heroes to be daring and their heroines to be courageous and a little bit adventurous.

Excruciatingly bad
You expect some ideosyncracies in this genre.
But: The story is more than just silly. Utterly unrealistic, absolutely historically inaccurate and has a cringeworthingly stupid heroine.
Each sentence contains a word or detail that just doesn’t make sense in an 18th century context. Or any other.
I couldn’t bear listening for longer than 10 minutes, it just got worse and worse.

Romantic Who-Done-It!
I love the innocence of Minerva and the excited desire for adventure that she has. This she tries to record by attempting to capture her thoughts and ideas in a novel, one that she dreams will be an instant hit and make her famous.
Of course she and the Duke fall madly in love but there is the mystery of who killed his wife to solve first. Was it him or someone else? They have to find out before they can commit to each other and how this happens makes this story a delightful, suspense filled and entertaining one which I am really happy to recommend.
Marion Hussey adds to this suspenseful story with her unique voices.
I requested and listened to the audiobook version and my unbiased review above is given voluntarily.
