Third in the series, with return of characters from the first two. It would be helpful, but not essential, to read the first two first.
Miss Iris Barrington, a fine book dealer, has dealings with Nicholas Radford, the new Duke of Hollinburgh, leading to an intensely passionate affair which Iris at least believes will need to end at some point. This is complicated by much skulduggery and plotting in the duke's family - his inheritance of the title was not liked by all - and his aunts have their own candidates for the girl he should marry.
I confess I got hopelessly confused about who was related to who and how, and who was mad about what, and I did find it odd that heroine never seemed concerned about getting pregnant (if she took precautions I missed that part), but overall I thought it a good read with a lot of interesting stuff to it.
