Publisher's Summary

Miss Minerva Lane is a quiet, bespectacled wallflower, and she wants to keep it that way. After all, the last time she was the center of attention, it ended badly - so badly that she changed her name to escape her scandalous past.

Wallflowers may not be the prettiest of blooms, but at least they don't get trampled. So when a handsome duke comes to town, the last thing she wants is his attention.

But that is precisely what she gets.

Because Robert Blaisdell, the Duke of Clermont, is not fooled. When Minnie figures out what he's up to, he realizes there is more to her than her spectacles and her quiet ways. And he's determined to lay her every secret bare before she can discover his. But this time, one shy Miss may prove to be more than his match...

The Duchess War is the first full-length book in the Brothers Sinister series. It is preceded by The Governess Affair, a prequel novella.

4.5 stars across the board

After all the RWA drama and b.s. Courtney Milan has been through of late, I decided to buy and read one of her books

I thoroughly enjoyed this Historical Romance, the characters have depth and layers, the book touches on topics often ignored in HR.

unexpected twists

The narrator was excellent with the many accents. The story line took a turn, several times, and became more realistic in spite of the rules of the social status of the time
