Victor Cale is shocked when he learns that his beautiful young wife deceived him. Isabella left him ten years ago, and Victor hasn't heard from her since. Now working for Manton Investigations, Victor is sent to Scotland to investigate a woman who may be taking advantage of a young Baron. This is where he discovers Isabella.
Isa can't believe that Victor is back in her life. She blames him for abandoning her after helping her relatives steal priceless diamonds. Isa left her sister and brother-in-law in Amsterdam, changed her name, and started a new life with her daughter. She doesn't want Victor involved in her new life or possibly finding out that he has a nine-year-old daughter.
Both Victor and Isa are well-developed characters. They both thought the other was a crook who abandoned them. I was happy that the "Big Misunderstanding" didn't play out over half of the book. Isa and Victor compared notes and realized that Isa's family lied to both. They know that Isa's brother-in-law will be back to cause more trouble for them and possibly for their daughter. They need to stop him now.
This is the second book in The Duke's Men series. Many of the characters in the first book appeared in this one. I'm looking forward to the next book in the series. My rating: 4 Stars.
