Mrs. Martin’s Incomparable Adventure by Courtney Milan

Northword tells himself it is wrong to interfere in her life at this late hour, but interfere he cannot help, with his words, his body, and the truths of his heart. Portia, however, is about to marry another man.

Ten years away from Doyle’s Grange isn’t quite long enough for Viscount Northword to forget Portia Temple, or their passionate adolescent affair. Welcome to Doyle’s Grange, a charming house near the hills of Exmoor, where the garden is beautiful in every season, and the residents are respectable year-round. Each book stands alone, but those who prefer to read in order might want to read that book first. It is preceded by The Governess Affair, a prequel novella. But this time, one shy miss may prove to be more than his match…The Duchess War is the first full-length book (97,000 words) in the Brothers Sinister series. And he’s determined to lay her every secret bare before she can discover his. When Minnie figures out what he’s up to, he realizes there is more to her than her spectacles and her quiet ways. Because Robert Blaisdell, the Duke of Clermont, is not fooled. So when a handsome duke comes to town, the last thing she wants is his attention. Wallflowers may not be the prettiest of blooms, but at least they don’t get trampled. After all, the last time she was the center of attention, it ended badly-so badly that she changed her name to escape her scandalous past. But that is precisely what she gets.Miss Minerva Lane is a quiet, bespectacled wallflower, and she wants to keep it that way.
