HE IS THE LAST DUKE STANDING
. . . the sole remaining bachelor of the three self-proclaimed Decadent Dukes. Yet Davina MacCallum's reasons for searching out the handsome Duke of Brentworth have nothing to do with marriage. Scottish lands were unfairly confiscated from her family by the Crown and given to his. A reasonable man with vast holdings can surely part with one trivial estate, especially when Davina intends to put it to good use. Brentworth, however, is as difficult to persuade as he is to resist.
The Duke of Brentworth's discretion and steely control make him an enigma even to his best friends. Women especially find him inscrutable and unapproachable—but also compellingly magnetic. So when Davina MacCallum shows no signs of being even mildly impressed by him, he is intrigued. Until he learns that her mission in London involves claims against his estate. Soon the two of them are engaged in a contest that allows no compromise. When duty and desire collide, the best laid plans are about to take a scandalous turn—into the very heart of passion . . .

Hunter’s final Decadent Dukes Society Regency (after A Devil of a Duke) entices with a strong heroine who refuses to be impressed by the hero’s stuffy manners. Davina MacCallum is working as a tutor in London while she seeks to prove that her grandfather was a Scottish baron whose lands were wrongfully taken by the English Crown. Eric Marshall, Duke of Brentworth, is now the owner of those lands and believes that Davina’s claim is fraudulent. When Davina leaves London for Scotland to search for evidence of her family’s claims, Brentworth follows her, intrigued by her persistence. As they spend more time together, Davina sees through Brentworth’s proper exterior to the kind, generous man inside, and he admires her selflessness and medical skills. As the physical attraction between them grows, they must decide whether they can set aside their personal animosities over the disputed lands and form a lasting relationship. Readers who like slow-simmering romance will find much to appreciate about these intelligent, forthright characters and their cautious journey toward love. Agent: Pamela Hopkins, Hopkins Literary.
