About this listen

Golden-haired Aurora Kimberly possesses only one passion - to live a simple life on the lush island paradise bequeathed to her family by the English Crown. Now her peace is about to be threatened by the appearance of Valerian Hawkesworth, duke of Farminster, who has arrived to claim his own prize - an heiress promised to him in a marriage contract. But the free-spirited beauty has no intention of letting some pompous duke carry her off to cold and gloomy England. Her sister Cally, who has always yearned for the luxurious life of a duchess, agrees to switch places.

But can the sisters hope to play out this charade successfully? And what sweet revenge will the duke demand once he discovers the deception? Only a twist of fate and the power of an indomitable love can change the heart of a man scorned....

Contains mature themes.

This isn't the usual formulaic titilating historical romance. It's neither fluffy nor light. There were some rather unpleasant people and moments or references there to, but the story drew me in and kept me engrossed. Aurora was a likeable character, and her sensual persona gave way to erotic encounters that the author did a fantastic job expressing.

An engaging story
