Slightly Dangerous / Mary Balogh 415 p.

Mary Balogh completes the Bedwyn saga with the romance of the Wulfric Bedwyn, Duke of Bewcastle. Bewcastle is known for his icy reserve, control, and aloofness. He has been satisfied with his mistress; but she has died. He accepts a invitation to a house party of friend, where he meets Christine Derrick, the impoverished widow of a viscount's brother. Two more unlikely lovers, yet when they meet, he realizes that he needs a mistress...her. She still feels the after effects of her loss. She puzzles over how her love match went awry. She tries to stifle her outgoing friendly nature. Even though, she piques his interest. She declines becoming his mistress. He finds himself thinking of her. His family is amazed that he goes to the length of inviting her family so she can come to his home. They sense romance and rally around to give him opportunities to be with her alone. Told with wit and humor, Balogh finishes the Bedwyn's with a flourish.
