The Duke Next Door (The Heiress Brides, Book Two): Celeste Bradley

“A MARRIAGE OF CONVENIENCE

“The dangerously beautiful Deirdre Cantor is determined to inherit her grandfather’s vast fortune. All she needs is to marry a duke…and be the first granddaughter to walk down the aisle. So when the proper Calder Marbrook, the Marquis of Brookhaven and future Duke of Brookmoor, is abandoned at the altar, Deirdre makes it her business to become his wife—in spite of the whispers about his past.

“AN INCONVENIENT TRUTH…

“Soon Deirdre’s visions of a lavish existence with the handsome Calder are shattered when she learns his shocking secret. Feeling betrayed, Deirdre seeks revenge by playing a perilous and seductive game of cat and mouse with her husband that threatens to drive them both to theheights of passion. But at what cost? Calder is determined to keep his secret under lock and key—and to make his stunning wife his in every way that matters. Even if it means winning her heart all over again…”

This book was entirely FANTASTIC! Though, I must say that it was pretty much exactly One Night of Scandal by Teresa Medeiros, but it was not disappointing in the least!
There were some truly WOMDERFUL plot twists and I found myself nearly heartbroken at the characters’ predicaments. I felt so much for Calder and Deirdre and they totally tugged at my heartstrings. I loved this book, but was a little bit apprehensive because of the way they were portrayed in the first book of the series. As usual, Celeste Bradley has the most amazing talent for words and situations that captivate the readers and leave me without the ability to say just how much I love her writing!
