London, 1802
Lady Augustine Jane Ascott longs for a man who will do more than offer his hand in marriage. She wants a husband she can trust, someone who will shield her from the darkness of the world. Her heart was broken when her little brother was kidnapped years earlier, and she still carries the pain of his loss.
When the handsome Duke of Wentworth makes his feelings for her known, Augustine's past demons warn her away. Besides, every woman in London knows he's devoted to the memory of his late wife. But is it possible he cares for her after all—and that their love can bring them the peace they both crave?

Reading this teaser kept me intrigued. It made me interested in finding out more. Glad I won't have to wait months for the next book.

I found the book charming. It had good plot line but i wanted deeper characterization that matched the era. I love to read the dry boring everyday 17th-18th century diaries. Though most of my friends find staffing difficulties and counting stock dry as dry can be. I find this to be a window to real life at that time. I troubles me to read books that have modern charterizations in their stories set in a time that was very far from modern thinking. If you love a cute tale about a willful daughter and her long time friend falling in love then you will enjoy this book.

Excellent read, just way too short, loved the story though.

Report this reviewThank you, this review has been flagged.It's always a joy to read a Delilah Marvelle novel, and this novella is no exception. Lady Augustine Jane Ascott and the Duke of Wentworth are characters you can't help falling in love with. I rooted for their happy-ever-after from the very first page. A must read.

The moment I finished this novella, I realized that I was going to be forced to wait to find out what happens next. Why are the books in this series coming out six months apart?! I absolutely adored Augustine and Leonard as a couple. There was a heart wrenching sweetness and heat between them that made this a fabulous read.

This brief novella has a lot of warmth for its size. Although the major external problem of the plot will clearly not be resolved until the main body of the Rumor Series, it is heartwarming to see how supportive the hero is, and how the heroine is able to grow in her ability to trust and to live her own life in spite of past loss.
