This is the third book in the Seven Dukes of Sin series. This book follows Constantine, he is restrained, stiff, unflappable, and full of pride. Yet he has a secret that he will do anything to protect. He has a blackmailer and a young infant that is causing him all sorts of grief. So Constantine devises a way to thwart all. He will marry the vicar’s daughter in a marriage of convenience and raise this child. However, no marriage of convenience is ever easy. Modesty prefers to dig in dirt, rather than exchange niceties with others. Modesty would always do for others before herself. She would truly love to be an archaeologist. As with all previous MFC’S in this series each woman is unique and talented, skilled in some area in which women were traditionally forbidden from. I enjoy how the author uses these historical novels to explain and describe how women were trendsetters and paved the way for the future. Modesty and Constantine begin to enjoy each other and their family as the blackmailer looms closer and more dangerous. Constantine’s history really plays into how he will decide to handle things. Will he sacrifice his wife and family to keep his pride intact? I am truly enjoying these historical novels, not just for the romantic aspects, but the history and the wonderful stories.
