Valentine Napier, the Duke of Montgomery, is known around London has a blackmailer and kidnapper. That is what got him exiled in the first place. Now he has returned home with more information he can use to blackmail many aristocrats...including the King. What he finds is his housekeeper, Bridget Crumb, searching his bedroom. Bridget took the job in the Duke's household to find letters her mother had written years ago. Val is intrigued to discover that his no nonsense housekeeper is actually spying on him. He uses his charms to try and uncover exactly who she is and what she is looking for.
The tenth book in the Maiden Lane series has a very unique hero. He is vain, ruthless, and seemingly doesn't seem to know the difference between right and wrong. I really didn't know what to think of Val, but I found him fascinating. Bridget was also a great character. She isn't as prim and proper as she pretends to be. She believes she is immune to Val's charms, but she finds out that isn't true.
I'm guessing the ratings for this book will be all over the place because of the darkness of the hero. I found it riveting. My rating: 4.5 Stars.
