Forever My Duke by Olivia Drake

Hadrian has decided that it is time to get married. A cousin would like him to marry his daughter and since Hadrian has not seen anyone else that strikes his fancy, he has decided to visit the girl to see if they could make a match since he hasn't seen the girl since she was a young child. But one the way to his visit, he encounters Natalie. An American, she doesn't seem to be impressed that he is a duke. He is instantly intrigued. When he learns Natalie and headed to the same place he is, he offers her a ride. The more time he spends with her, he realizes that she is the one for him. But how can he convince a woman that hates the nobility to take a chance on him?

Natalie, having grown up in America, sees no reason to treat the duke she meets any different than anyone else. She detests the English nobility after hearing how they treated her father before he moved to her home country. Only in England for a short time, she plans to quickly finish her business and go home where she wants to start a school. But she is running into issues reuniting the orphaned child of her best friend with his remaining family. Hadrian seems to want to help, but since she doesn't have the highest opinion of anyone in the nobility, she doesn't think she can trust him.
Will Hadrian be able to convince Natalie that he is not all the rest of the nobility and that they can make a life with each other?

I really enjoyed Hadrian and Natalie's story. I liked that Natalie challenged Hadrian. He didn't know what to think of her at first, someone that didn't defer to him just because he was a duke. I enjoyed their bantering as it had me laughing out loud throughout the story. This was a great addition to the Unlikely Duchesses series!
