Christopher Ansley, Earl of Waxham, has constructed a perfect image for the ton - the ladies love him and all desires his company. Only two people know the truth about Waxham’s secret. Unfortunately, one of them is Miss Sophie Winters.

Sophie Winston and Christopher Ansley have known each other since she was an infant and he was an eight year old boy. An incident from their childhood has caused a rift between them. When Christopher’s father insists that he court and wed Sophie, he flatly refuses. Then his father threatens to expose his secret to the ton. Desperate, he enlists the help of his best friend, the Duke of Mallen, asking the duke to court Sophie, so she will not chose Christopher.

There is one problem with his plan. As he gets to know the adult, Sophie, he soon finds himself enchanted by her. Should he throw caution to the wind, and court Sophie, even though it will give his father what he wants, or should he let the duke win her affections?

A review - Christopher Ansley, the Earl of Waxham was also introduced in the first book of this series as the rejected suitor for the Duke of Mallen’s sister. I am so glad he finds true love. I became completely enmeshed with his character, and could feel his pain concerning his secret. After being abused, verbally, emotionally and physically by his father, he definitely deserved to have such a wonderful character as Sophie in his life. They suit each other so well.

I also listened to the audio version as well as reading the book and the narrator is fantastic. Tim Campbell reads with a great deal of emotion, and has the perfect British voice for the characters. He does an outstanding job with the female voices, which normally come across quite insipid when the reader is a male. I thoroughly enjoyed his narrating style and will look for other books performed by him.
