Marcus Reece, Duke of Exeter, has spent most of his life pulling his twin brother out of trouble. An occasional thank you would suffice; instead, his resentful sibling forges his name to a marriage license and presents him with an unwanted wife. She's a vicar's widow with a mind of her own who may be the first person in Marcus's well-ordered life to make him feel…completely out of control.
Hannah can't help but curse her own idiocy. Dire straits have led her to the altar with a gentleman she hardly knows. Played for a fool, she's embarrassed, furious, and worse, married to an equally outraged stranger—an exasperating man who unleashes all manner of emotions in Hannah, not to mention unwanted desire. Reluctantly she agrees to play the wife until he can sort out the mess. But the nearness of the undeniably attractive duke and the passion in his black eyes unsettles her well-guarded heart—making her want to do so much more than 'act' the role of blissful bride…

I like this a lot. So much of what I enjoy about the newer [a:Caroline Linden 115012 Caroline Linden https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1398778890p2/115012.jpg] books are present here; this book is just a bit less polished.I would have liked to see them interact as a couple more. Quite a bit of this book was dedicated to the more outlandish parts of the plot (which I admit were fun), but it did detract from the romance storyline a bit.
