The Widow Rules #1

A Duke in Time

Janna MacGregor

Get ready for lost wills, broody dukes, and scorching hot kissing all over London in A Duke in Time by Janna MacGregor.

Katherine Vareck is in for the shock of her life when she learns upon her husband Meri's accidental death that he had married two other women. Her entire business, along with a once-in-a-lifetime chance to be a royal supplier, is everything she's been working for and now could be destroyed if word leaks about the three wives.

Meri's far more upstanding brother, Christian, Duke of Randford has no earthly clue how to be of assistance. He spent the better part of his adult years avoiding Meri and the rest of his good-for-nothing family, so to be dragged back into the fold is…problematic. Even more so is the intrepid and beautiful Katherine, whom he cannot be falling for because she's Meri's widow. Or can he?

With a textile business to run and a strong friendship forming with Meri's two other wives, Katherine doesn't have time for much else. But there's something about the warm, but compellingly taciturn Christian that draws her to him. When an opportunity to partner in a business venture brings them even closer, they'll have to face their pasts if they want to share each other's hearts and futures.

My Review
 

A Duke in Time by Janna MacGregor
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

What an opening! I was not expecting that and immediately couldn't wait to find out what would come next.
While Lady Katherine awaits the arrival of her brother-in-law the Duke of Ransford, so the will can be read, she learns that her husband was also married to two other women. And to make matters worse the solicitor can't find her husband's money. Something she needs to further her textile business.

Christian, is ready to walk away from this whole mess his half-brother has created. He askes to be introduced to Lady Katherine and when he attempts to walk away from the whole situation she asks for his help. But he's still reluctant to lend a hand so he leaves and when he comes back learns that Lady Katherine has left with the two other women his brother married.

While the solicitor works to untangle all the marriage contracts, who he was really married to, and what he did with all the dowries. Christian and Katherine begin to spend time together. They have an attraction for one another and the more time they spend together the harder it becomes to deny it.
