In the sixth and final book of the Bedwyn series, Wulfric Bedwyn, the Duke of Bewcastle, is finally awarded his chance at love. Wulf, lonely after a recent turn in life, with the marriage of his last sibling and the death of his mistress of ten years, decides to do something totally out of character and attend a country house party.
The invitation, which was verbally given, throws the hostess into a frenzy when she does not have an equal amount of men and women attending, so she forces her cousin, the widow Christine Derrick, to attend. Christine is an accident waiting to happen, while Wulf is known for his stiff and unbending ways. In their first encounter, Christine drips lemonade in Wulf's eye, then she runs headlong into him on a path, next she falls out of a tree, and so on, showing Wulf, who is undeniably attracted to her that they are completely unsuited. Christine, too, feels attraction for the Duke, but feels he is completely wrong for since they are so opposite in every way imaginable. They give into their attraction the final night of the ball though, and have one night of memorable passion. They separate on angry terms, even though was convinced that their coming together involved no emotion, and are brought together again for the wedding of a mutual friend, which reignites their dormant passion. Even though both know they are wrong for each other, they can not seem to think of any other. | ||
