Dukes a dying!
Last Duke Standing (The Lords of Eton #3) by Cheryl Bolen
Alex, the newly minted Duke of Fordham by unfortunate happenstance (death of his older brother) was never more shocked when his seemingly healthy brother died in his sleep. Not only did he lose a brother, (admittedly they weren't that close) but he now had to give up being a member of the House of Commons and walk in the halls of the House of Lords.
More than that he had to notify his brother's fiancé, Lady Georgiana Fenton, of her betroth's demise.
What Alex didn't plan for was Georgina arriving on the doorstep with a hastily flung together portmanteau. Who was this unusual, 'take charge' woman who insisted on viewing his brother's dead body, then decided that they'd need a doctor's opinion to determine if he'd been smothered.
Now all Georgina and Alex need to do is find the killer. At the top of Georgina's list was Alex!
What neither of them had counted on was the strong attachment that might be more a hindrance than a help.
I loved Georgina but didn't warm to Alex that much. I must admit that the unmasking of the culprit was a bit of a surprise.
