Lady Hope Post is one of a set of triplets. She’s the one who seems to be attracted to trouble. She likes to drive fast and fall in love with inappropriate men. She had been in love with Henry – Earl of Kilworth but Henry dies unexpectedly. Now, she just met the new Earl of Kilworth, his cousin Thad Baxter, who might be dashing but is hardly a devil. The meeting might have gone better if it hadn’t happened after she had careened into his phaeton while driving her cousin’s phaeton.
Thad is someone she could never be attracted to – so of course they are drawn to each other. She thinks he’s trying to blackmail her while he is actually courting her. Things come to a head when Thad overhears a conversation about Hope that leads to the threat of a duel. The thought of something happening to Thad is enough to put aside all thoughts of Henry and let Hope see what a truly worthy man is like.
I read this book when it was originally published in one of the When the Duke Comes to Town collections. This is a fast and fun read and a sweet little story. It holds up as an enjoyable read the second time around.
