Description

Hugo Marshall earned the nickname "the Wolf of Clermont" for his ruthless ambition--a characteristic that has served him well, elevating the coal miner's son to the right hand man of a duke. When he's ordered to get rid of a pestering governess by fair means or foul, it's just another day at work.

But after everything Miss Serena Barton has been through at the hands of his employer, she is determined to make him pay. She won't let anyone stop her--not even the man that all of London fears. They might call Hugo Marshall the Wolf of Clermont...but even wolves can be brought to heel.

    I'm always a bit meh at attraction at first sight, but the twists on it are good here. Definitely worthwhile, & samples for two others at the end have ensured I've grabbed a novella. Huzzah!
  • Great start to the series

    This was a great novella, and the epilogue makes me want to purchase the next books in the series. I really don't understand why a previous reviewer found this book boring. I started it, and didn't put it down until I was finished. I liked the interaction between the two main characters, and their love scene was sweet with just the right amount of spice. I recommend this book.

    This is my very favorite romance novel — and I have read many! I love that it grapples with real life issues, and does so beautifully.

    Nicely presented, woman wronged, another man told to clean the matter up, and sparks develop. Wonderfully depicted Victorian London, high sense of manners, interesting characters. Not terrific but far from a waste of time.

    Short but very good I will buy the next book. Really liked the characters. The wit from both of them was great the Duke what a jerk.
