Synopsis:The Duke of Jervaulx was brilliant -- and dangerous.
Considered dissolute, reckless, and extravagant, he was transparently referred to as the "D of J" in scandal sheets. But sometimes the most womanizing rakehell can be irresistible, and even his most casual attentions fascinated the sheltered Maddy Timms.
Then one fateful day she receives the shocking news -- the duke is lost to the world. And Maddy knows it is her destiny to help him and her only chance to find the true man behind the wicked façade.
But she never dreamed her gentle, healing touch would alter his life and her own so completely -- and bind them together in need, desire ... and love.
My rating: 2 stars
My review: An unusual story which is well-written. Unfortunately, it's a bit too serious and angst-y for my taste. Also, I don't think that the Quaker aspect was necessary to the story.
