Broken beyond repair?

Broken Duke (The 1797 Club #3) by Jess Michaels

                                       

I keep being amazed by the way an author can meld the stories of a series so that they bounce off each other without a fault.
I must admit that The 1797 Club series is somewhat like a regency Days of our Lives only raunchier.
In this novel the background of lifetime friends falling out, and the resolution of that via the women they love, together with the realization of what love brings, is a fitting resolution for this Duke's progress towards a healthier future.
Lady Adelaide Longford's secret life as the actress Lydia Ford crashes headlong into her normal life of dutiful wallflower daughter of the ton when she meets the emotionally damaged Graham Everly, Duke of Northfield whose ex fiancĂ© just happens to be Adelaide's best friend.
They give to each other what hasn't been before, unfortunately the truth of Lydia Ford lies between them.
The last unveiling of the plot came as a surprise although the hints were there with hindsight.
Another lively vignette in this series.
