The Forbidden Duke by Darcy Burke

Miss Eleanor Lockhart has suddenly lost her home. Her only recourse is to get a job. Knowing that in London, she might run into people from past,she wants to be honest and upfront with her employer about the scandal that had her leasing London a decade ago. Thankful that she finds employment, she never imagined that her employer would offer to find her a season so that she might finally find a husband.

Titus St. John, Duke of Kendal, is not often seen out in society. Know as the Forbidden Duke, he only ventures out into society for his step-mother's yearly ball. When she asks for help in launching Eleanor, Titus can't say no. He has carried the guilt of Eleanor's ruination for a decade. Although he wasn't the cad that ruin her, he did play a big part in it.

Eleanor and Titus soon find they can't fight their mutual attraction. Will this unlikely duo find their happily ever after with each other?

I LOVED this story!! Eleanor was a very strong woman. She had to be to go back into society after being ruined all those years ago. I loved that she was offered a second chance at finding love. Fate had getting a job with the right person.

Of course, like other men, Titus was not ready to settle down yet. But there was no denying the attraction that he felt toward Eleanor and when push came to shove, he wasn't about to let anyone else have her!! 

I'm excited to read the next book in Burke's Untouchable series, The Duke of Daring, which comes out in August!!
