Spinster Miss Eleanor Lockhart is suddenly homeless and employment is her only option. Ruined after succumbing to a scoundrel's excessive charm nearly a decade ago, she's lucky to obtain a position as a paid companion and committed to behaving with the utmost propriety. She definitely shouldn't be in the arms of a man capable of utterly destroying what little remains of her reputation.

Titus St. John, Duke of Kendal, is known as the Forbidden Duke, a mysterious, intimidating figure who enters society just once each year at his stepmother's ball. A decade ago, he was a devil-may-care rake until his idle roguery brought about the ruin of Eleanor Lockhart - and his resulting self-imposed isolation. Now she's back, and she needs his help. But by saving her, he may just ruin her life all over again.

An enjoyable story about second chances and becoming an adult. Nora spent nine years in the country after an unfortunate moment during her season. It wasn’t too dreadful, but she suffered from it and not the gentleman. As a result of this and the death of his father Titus changes his life for the better.
If you love to see good people find love and happiness then this is the book for you. Strong characters and a HEA.
Very nicely read.

I enjoyed this story even though it was a simple one. There was character development and sexual tension between the main couple. The performance was also very good. 4/5
