New York Times bestselling author Elizabeth Hoyt brings us the first book in her sexy and sensual Greycourt Series! Freya de Moray is many things: a member of the secret order of Wise Women, the daughter of disgraced nobility, and a chaperone living under an assumed name. What she is not is forgiving. So when the Duke of Harlowe, the man who destroyed her brother and led to the downfall of her family, appears at the country house party she's attending, she does what any Wise Woman would do: she starts planning her revenge. Christopher Renshaw, the Duke of Harlowe, is being blackmailed. Intent on keeping his secrets safe, he agrees to attend a house party where he will put an end to this coercion once and for all. Until he recognizes Freya, masquerading among the party revelers, and realizes his troubles have just begun. Freya knows all about his sins-sins he'd much rather forget. But she's also fiery, bold, and sensuous-a temptation he can't resist. When it becomes clear Freya is in grave danger, he'll risk everything to keep her safe. But first, he will have to earn Freya's trust...by whatever means necessary. Features a bonus novella from New York Times bestselling author Grace Burrowes!

I love the story, I just wish there had been more of it in the main H/h's pov. I haven't read another romance where so much of the book is in a 3rd character's pov, but Freya, our heroine who is not the Duke's darling, is nothing if not nonconforming, so it stands to reason that her book would be the same.
I very much appreciated the use of actual history for Harlowe's background! And I look forward to reading Messalina's story next. Her hatred of the man who is to be her hero makes it all the more intriguing.
