About this ebook

Nothing ruins a lady's reputation faster than a stint in prison.

Conned out of her innocence—and freedom—by her mother, recently pardoned Winifred Fernsby-Webb resigns herself to the role of the protective older sister, rejecting every suitor before they learn of her shameful past.

While hosting a weeklong engagement event, the request to act as a buffer between Winifred’s restrictive presence and her betrothed younger sister is made of Silas Morton, Duke of Beaufort. After accepting his friend’s desperate plea, Silas commits the one act he vowed never to do: fall in love.

However, when his amorous dalliance triggers an insidious scheme resulting in Winifred’s kidnapping and ransom demand, she doubts the strength of the Duke of Beaufort's affections, fearing he's abandoned her to the whims of a vindictive criminal.

Fans of Christie Caldwell and Darcy Burke will delight in this seductive concoction of love, revenge, and second chances.

Order now to discover what complications can result when a lady eschews her decision to Never Beguile a Duke.

*Book 3 in the Dukes and Wallflowers Regency romance series.

This was a really good read. I really enjoyed reading this book and was up until the wee hours of the morning to finish it. Miss Winifred Fernsby-Well is a wonderful character, she is spunky and knows what she wants. She is at her sister’s engagement party at the Duke of Beaufort place. In each book something horrific happens and it was no different in this book. My favourite character was the Duke of Beaufort’s daughter Juliette. I would recommend this book and series.

Alyssa Drake has a strong writing style and am excited for more as I really enjoyed this as a third entry in the Dukes and Wallflowers series, it does a great job in creating that historical romance and was hooked from the first page. The characters worked well in this setting and thoroughly enjoyed the concept and how they were used. It has a strong murder mystery element that I wanted and enjoyed the overall feel of this. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily l
