How to Catch a Duke
(Adobe EPUB eBook, Kindle Book, OverDrive Read)
"I have come to ask you to kill me, my lord."
Miss Abigail Abbott desperately needs to disappear—permanently—and the only person she trusts to help her do that is Lord Stephen Wentworth, heir to the Duke of Walden. Stephen is brilliant, charming, and—when he needs to be—absolutely ruthless. So ruthless that he proposes marriage instead of "murder" to keep Abigail safe.
Stephen was smitten the instant his sister introduced him to Abigail, a woman with the dignity and determination of a duchess and the courage of a lioness. When she accepts his courtship of convenience, he also discovers she kisses like his most intimate wish come true. For Abigail, their arrangement is a sham to escape her dangerous enemies. For Stephen, it's his one chance to share a lifetime with the lady of his dreams—if only he can convince her his love is real.

A woman inquiry agent seeks assistance from a ducal heir and winds up falling in love. Formidable and imposing Abigail Abbott is in danger after a marquess requested she hand over some letters and she refused. She turns to clever Lord Stephen Wentworth, heir to the Duke of Walden, requesting he help fake her death so she can escape harm's way. Stephen instead proposes a courtship of convenience. Because of his title, she would be protected with him as an ally. As they spend time together to ensure her safety, they reveal truths about their pasts, explore their physical desires for each other, and uncover more mysteries regarding the letters and the people interested in them. This installment in the Rogues to Riches series features familiar faces and Burrowes' superb writing. Despite Abigail's circumstances, the story has little conflict until some late twists amp up the drama. The pace is mostly unhurried, sometimes overly so. Abigail and Stephen genuinely like each other throughout the book, so the romance itself feels quite low stakes, even with their differences in station and morals--Abigail is an anti-violence lapsed Quaker while Stephen designs guns. Stephen uses canes to walk due to an injury in his youth, and this disability is deftly handled. Additionally, his candor regarding past trysts, with both women and men, is refreshing. Secrets and mysteries add some intrigue, but it's the strength of the adept and captivating leads that carries the story. Slow yet satisfying.COPYRIGHT(2021) Kirkus Reviews, ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.

Stephen Wentworth, who has a serious knee injury stemming from his father's abuse when he was a child, takes center stage in the sixth installment in Burrowes' excellent Rogues to Riches series. Miss Abigail Abbott, the private investigator who appears in previous titles in the series, asks Stephen to kill her--that is, to pretend to commit murder--in order to get a peer to stop harassing her. The problem is Abigail is in possession of some love letters from the peer's deceased son. Stephen, who never envisioned himself as a married man or a father, is fascinated by this smart woman and agrees to help her. They conduct a pretend courtship while they try to figure out why the letters are so important. Both have deeply buried secrets that add vivid depth to their characters and the story as Burrowes weaves plenty of surprises and family interactions into this delightful tale of two people who find things where they least expect them, especially love.COPYRIGHT(2021) Booklist, ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.
