When Amelia Allenby escaped a stifling London ballroom for the quiet solitude of the Derbyshire countryside, the very last thing she wanted was an extremely large, if—she grudgingly admits—passably attractive man disturbing her daily walks. Lecturing the surveyor about property rights doesn't work and, somehow, he has soon charmed his way into lemon cakes, long walks, and dangerously heady kisses.
The very last place Sydney wished to be was in the shadow of the ruins of Pelham Hall, the inherited property that stole everything from him. But as he awaits his old friend, the Duke of Hereford, he finds himself increasingly captivated by the maddeningly lovely and exceptionally odd Amelia. He quickly finds that keeping his ownership of Pelham Hall a secret is as impossible as keeping himself from falling in love with her.
But when the Duke of Hereford arrives, Sydney's ruse is revealed and what started out as a delicate deception has become a love too powerful to ignore. Will they let a lifetime of hurt come between them or can these two lost souls find love and peace in each other?

      Suffering from chronic social anxiety, Amelia Allenby moves from London to the rural Derbyshire countryside, where her peaceful walks are interrupted by a surveyor trespassing on her rented property, part of Pelham Hall estate. Sydney Goddard is visiting his inheritance, Pelham Hall, loathing it because he lost his family there and distrusts landed gentry. Amelia's initial reaction to Sydney is hostile, but slowly they grow closer, bonding over a shared aversion to traditional societal expectations, until a deception on Sydney's part comes to light and creates a chasm between the two they may not be able to repair.

      VERDICT Despite a slightly meandering plot, Sebastian (A Duke in Disguise) once again creates a flawed yet completely lovable cast of bisexual and asexual characters, with Amelia's feminist attitude toward love making inspiring. Readers can enjoy this as a stand-alone, but for character backstories, they should start with the first in the series, Unmasked by the Marquess.--Eve Stano, Ball State Univ. Muncie, IN
