New York Times bestselling author Sabrina Jeffries features an irresistible family in a series to savor, as the grown children of a thrice-married dowager duchess piece together the stories of their fathers-while pursuing passions of their own ... Lady Gwyn Drake has long protected her family's reputation by hiding an imprudent affair from her youth. But when her former suitor appears at Armitage Hall, manhandling the heiress and threatening to go public with her secrets, it's Gwyn who needs protecting. Her twin brother, Thorn, hires Joshua Wolfe, the estate's gamekeeper, to keep her safe in London during her debut. As a war hero, Joshua feels obligated to fulfill the assignment he has accepted. But as a man, it's tormen...t to be so very close to the beauty he's fought to ignore ...

Review by Booklist Review

Paying off Lionel Malet, the scoundrel who is blackmailing Lady Gwyn Drake about a secret from her past, would be so much easier if Gwyn didn't have Joshua Wolfe dogging her every footstep. Unfortunately, ever since Lionel unsuccessfully tried to kidnap her, Gwyn's brother insists that Joshua act as her bodyguard while Gwyn is in London for her society debut. Now Gwyn must figure out two things, how to ditch Joshua long enough to give the odious Lionel his money, and how to find a way to permanently erase Joshua's bone-melting kisses from her memory. The Bachelor, the second entrancing book in Jeffries' Duke Dynasty series (Project Duchess, 2019), beautifully showcases the author's gift for creating vividly etched characters (including a well-matched pair of protagonists) and then expertly placing them within a tautly constructed plot spiced with danger and plenty of red-hot sensuality.--John Charles Copyright 2020 Booklist
