Though Hadrian is on his way to propose to another woman and Natalie is considered an old maid at 26, sparks fly between them from their first meeting. Once in England, an ice storm strands Natalie and Leo in the same inn as Hadrian Ames, the haughty Duke of Clayton. But when her best friend dies, Natalie must travel to England to fulfill her deathbed promise to deliver newly orphaned six-year-old Leo into the arms of his grandfather, a peer of the realm. Feisty American school teacher Natalie Fanshawe abhors the foibles of the British aristocracy. The fluffy second regency romance in Drake’s Unlikely Duchesses series (after The Duke I Once Knew) features a refreshing heroine but a lackluster hero.
