Nor is she looking to gain herself another. Edwina is not some virginal miss intent on finding herself a husband. Frampton uses “reasons” for why Dukes fall in love as chapter titles that only adds to the light atmosphere of the story.Įdwina and Michael complement each other well. Two very intelligent and somewhat unconventional people whose personalities and social class differences make for a light-hearted and whimsical boss/secretary romance.
The fourth installment of Frampton’s smart and humorous standalone series-Dukes Behaving Badly- introduces us to Michael, the Duke of Hadlow, and Mrs. When he talks to her, he sees an intelligent woman who intrigues him and hires her on the spot. When he meets Edwina, he sees a beautiful woman. Honest to a fault, he expects the same from those around him and does not play the games polite society insists upon.
Your typical aristocrat he is high-handed, boorish, quick to cut, and suffers fools lightly. Having spent his valuable time turning away fourteen applicants, he is at his wits end. Michael Hadlow needs a secretary yesterday. Luckily for her, a dear friend is able to help her secure an interview to be a secretary for a Duke. Having spent her marriage keeping the books for her husband’s company, it’s only when the company begins to show a healthy profit does he decide to hand everything over to his debt harassed brother who ends up running the company into the ground. Edwina Chelton was dismayed to learn her late husband left her and their young child with nothing upon his death. But the only thing more persuasive than a duke intent on seduction is one who has fallen irrevocably in love. Edwina had begged him to marry someone appropriate–-someone aristocratic. It’s even said his only true friend is his dog. Michael is brilliant, single-minded, and utterly indifferent to being the talk of the ton. They embark on a passionate affair, and when she breaks it off, he accepts her decision as the logical one. He’d hired her as his secretary, only to quickly discover she was sensuous and intelligent. But when it comes time for him to take a proper bride, he ultimately realizes he wants only one woman: Edwina Cheltam. Michael, the Duke of Hadlow, has the liberty of enjoying an indiscretion.
