About this book

- [x]

Historical fiction writer, Vivienne Dupree, is hoping to unravel the mystery of her WWII soldier, great-grandfather’s doomed love affair with the lovely Lady Harmony. A woman he met convalescing at the sweeping English country estate, The Downs.

Vivienne jumps at the invitation to spend time at this magnificent property, doing so with unfettered access to family papers.

What she doesn’t expect is to come face-to-face—and immediately go head-to-head—with Battle Talyn, the ludicrously handsome, imposing, ridiculously arrogant Duke of Burleigh.

From the start, Vivi and Battle match wits, but it doesn’t take long for Vivi to realize something is amiss at The Downs. She dives into her research to figure it out, at the same time Battle launches a campaign that Vivi doesn’t quite understand.

The game is on, and a mystery is afoot.

What kept the doomed lovers apart all those years ago? What’s happening in the ballroom? Is there a curse on The Downs?

And what does all of this have to do with Battle and Vivi?

What this series seems to have is an honest and straightforward MMC and a down to earth FMC and their hilarious banter. Told from Vivi’s POV only. I loved all the characters and the story. ) !Image 108: Beautiful !Image 109!Image 110: Beautiful !Image 111 ![Image 112 Toni](https://www.amazon.com/gp/profile/amzn1.account.AEW6TTM4JS75YIZOUMAQLDAV6KTA) _5 out of 5 stars_ ##### Beautiful

I bought this book directly from Kristen Ashley at Wild and Windy West book con in Phoenix a few days before the release. Of course she signed it for me. I’ve now also read the Kindle version and listened to the Audible version because I couldn’t get enough of Battle and Vivienne. Also every one of the cast of characters. I spoke in an upper crust British accent for a week after but audio book was finished. I loved everything about this book, but the support and love that Battle and his sisters...

Kristen Ashley is one of my favorite authors, and this book felt like old school Kristen Ashley. I loved it and was so absorbed that I devoured it in an evening. Loved everything about Vivienne and Battle plus the sisters and the other characters. Such a delight! )

Another favorite couple in KA world. I was sucked in from the beginning and the moment Viv met Battle, I was literally squealing. I have soooo many highlights. Battle is a Duke & Vivienne is an American author on her next writing journey which involves parts of the Talyn family history. What starts off with banter and immediate chemistry quickly changes to something more. I adored the dynamic between the siblings. Battle in over protective big brother mode was of course, hot and just made me...
