"Running for her life, exhausted and out of options, Olivia Holladay wants nothing more than the chance to make a home for herself. So when she realizes that the infamous Duke of Marwick might hold the key to her freedom, she boldly disguises herself as the newest and bravest in a long line of the duke's notoriously temperamental housekeepers. Little does she know that the wickedly handsome Alastair de Grey has very different plans for her. As his new employee, Olivia is a fearless upstart. As a woman, the daring redhead is just what Alastair needs to rouse him from darkness to the siren call of revenge. He has suffered a betrayal so deep that he will use whatever means necessary to destroy his enemies--even his brazen and beautiful domestic. But his vengeful plan fails to account for his single weakness: an irresistible and growing passion for the enigmatic Olivia."-- From back cover.

Relieved to break my streak of boring reads lately with this book. Enjoyed the relationship between the two! After book 1 I wondered who in the world could endure pompous Alistair, but Olivia is more than a match! The mystery in this one was also interesting.

This was so much fun!!!! I loved the grumpy duke. I love that Olivia and him had a lot of banter, none of it stale. There was no annoying love triangle(yay!), and the romance between the two of them was so HOT. This is the first Duran book I have read, and it will not be the last. There was a perfect balance of sex to romance in this for me, not too much, but more than a few kissing scenes. Lets face it, there are only so many times you can read about a kiss being ravishing or branding before it becomes trite.
