Nash grew up with a brut of a father. Determined to never force his brutality on a wife, like his father did, he has decided to never marry. But that all changes when his grandmother tells him that the man who is his heir is just like his father. Determined to make sure that the staff and tenants don't have to put up with another monster, Nash has decided to marry. He just needs to find a woman that he has no feels for, so that he can control his emotions. That turns out to be easier said than done.
After living as a servant under her stepmother's watch, Anna Maria is finally able to live the life she always should have had as the daughter of a duke. Having never had the restrictions that other ladies did growing up, Anna Maria visits areas of town that are a little more dangerous. She ends up getting herself into a little bit of trouble, which if given enough time, she knows she could have gotten out of. But her brother's best friend steps in to help. Then he ends up offering to help her learn to defend herself.
While they are supposed to meet up to talk about defending oneself, the attraction between the two becomes too much to deny. Will Nash be willing to give up his wish of marrying someone he has no feelings for, so that he can finally get his HEA?
I absolutely adored Nash and Anna Maria's story!! I think because of both of their histories, they were better at understanding each other. Others just wouldn't have understood everything that they had gone through. I loved the way that Anna Maria stood up to Nash. I think her not being afraid of him, help him to overcome his fear that he would be just like his father. He father would have lashed out at someone doing the same and Nash did not.
This was a great addition to the hazards of Dukes series and I can't wait for the next one, A Wicked Bargain for the Duke. It stars Anna Maria's cousin, Thaddeus.
