About this ebook

What happens when fate throws together a woman who doesn’t believe in love…

and a man who’s never known it?

After being jilted and publicly shamed, Nicolette Twistleton has no use for Society—or its opinion. Her reputation in tatters, she embraces the title of “Spiteful Spinster” with bold defiance. Trusting another man is unthinkable. Yet there is something about the enigmatic Duke of Westfall that stirs her guarded heart. Infuriatingly handsome and far too perceptive, Mathias Pembroke tempts her with the possibility of something she’s sworn to never risk again.

Mathias never asked to be a duke—and he certainly doesn’t welcome the attention his title brings. Haunted by secrets and determined to keep his past buried, he avoids attachments at all costs. But Nicolette captivates him. Her sharp tongue and wounded soul speak to something deep within him, something he’s not sure he deserves. He wants to protect her, to offer her more—but only if she’ll let him in.

When long-buried secrets and lingering scandals resurface, the fragile trust between them is put to the ultimate test. With their reputations, futures, and hearts on the line, Nicolette and Mathias must decide: will they continue hiding behind fear, or take the greatest risk of all—love?

This was a quick, fun, and pleasant read. I did not want to stop reading. Nicolette was a wonderful character as she was strong and dismissive of the ton's attitude, yet still desired an happily ever after. Mathias knew what he wanted and was willing to patiently wait until his opportunity presented itself. He was protective, sweet, gentle, and kind. Neither really questioned their feelings for each other and trusted the other. I highly recommend this story. I received an ARC of this story, and this is my unsolicited review.

Such a romantic story that highlights Collette Cameron's delightful wit and magic with words which make her outstanding in the world of historical romance! I look forward to each book she writes and if I can then listen to it on audible, my reader's heart smiles with joy! "Scrapegrace. Hog-grubber. Jackanape. Contemptible, maggot-patted bounder." Yes those were the feelings of Nicolette after she had been jilted by her betrothed hours before their wedding. She was done with men! But really she was a little lonely. But life was about to change and it had to do with a handsome, charming Duke, oh yes, when she had sworn never to have those feelings again. Mathias, Duke of Westfall. "She was taken by the shade of his blue eyes and the annoyingly perfect lines of his well defined face. It was much easier to resist a man if he had bad breath, body odor, or a razor rash." Oh yes, I love these thoughts of the heroine! Follow the delightful journey of Nicollette and Mathias as they make you laugh, sigh and talk out loud to them! Seriously , I highlighted most of this book in my kindle because the lines were so imaginative and brilliant I knew I would read again!! I would love to say this author just gets better and better but seriously.. she is perfection already!

Nicolette Twistleton doesn’t care to dance with a duke. She really wants absolutely nothing to do with a duke or any other man. Being jilted by note on your wedding day will do that to a girl. Mathias Pembroke, Duke of Westfall, understands how she feels. He was faced with a very similar circumstance. When Nicolette was knocked over and injured (twisted ankle) by a very large excited “puppy,” Mathias is there to rescue her. This just might be the opening he has been waiting for to get closer to Nicolette. Will it work? Will spending time with her convince Nicolette that they can help each other heal and find a happy future? This is a lovely story with a wonderful hero, a heroine with perfect comedic timing, a little drama, some humor, comeuppance for some nasty exes, and romance including a most unforgettable proposal. Mathias is patient and protective of Nicolette. Nicolette is uncertain, but is drawn to Mathias and wants to trust him. There are people around them who encourage them. I love the way Nicolette’s mother, her brother Ansley, and Mathias’s sister Megan react to their courtship. I like that my favorite characters from the series were here as well. An enjoyable story. I happily recommend it.
