Named to All About Romance's "The Best of 2018!"
Duke. Scoundrel. Titan of business. August Faulkner is a man of many talents, not the least of which is enticing women into his bedchamber. He's known-and reviled-for buying and selling companies, accumulating scads of money, and breaking hearts. It's a reputation he wears like a badge of honor, and one he intends to keep.
Clara Hayward, the headmistress of the Haverhall School for Young Ladies, on the other hand, is above reproach. Yet when she's reunited with August all she can think of is the way she felt in his arms as they danced a scandalous waltz ten long years ago. Even though her head knows that he is only back in her life to take over her family's business, her heart can't help but open to the very duke who could destroy it for good.
"Where have you been all my life, Kelly Bowen? If Julia Quinn, Sarah MacLean, and Lisa Kleypas were to extract their writing DNA, mix it in a blender, and have a love child, Kelly Bowen would be it."-HeroesandHeartbreakers.com

Clara Haywood and August Faulkner, the Duke of Holloway, shared one waltz 10 years ago. Narrator Ashford McNab brings the listener along as Clara and August come together again. Clara runs a finishing school, which August's sister attends. He wants to purchase Clara's family's shipping business and goes to the school to achieve his goal. McNab has a precise way of speaking that lends itself to the upper-class characters. And she brings the lower-class characters to life as well. As Clara and August grow closer, McNab uses a languid tone for their more intimate moments. Overall, the story and narrator provide a satisfying listening experience.
