Satisfying read!

My Inconvenient Duke (Difficult Dukes #3) by Loretta Chase       

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I took to Lady Alice Ancaster straight away. Also to Giles Bouverie Lyon, eighth Duke of Blackwood, one of the three Dis-graceful dukes. When their disgraceful lordships, Ripley, Blackwood and Ashmont showed up at any ton function, the rooms emptied. Not that they were invited anywhere because they weren’t. Most of the ton ran when they hived into view.

It’s Ridley’s sister Alice who’s our focal point and Blackwood.

A girl Blackwood had taught to shoot when she was fifteen, who’d he first met scrambling out of a second floor window when she was ten, bold and cheery as you please

Alice has grown up. She’s spent a year abroad with her friend Cassandra Pomfret. Alice is part of the Minerva Society that takes on street children, educates and house them and find them employment 

At the moment however she’s realized that if something happens to Ridley his black hearted heir, Penric Ancaster, Lord Worbury would make her pay.

Alice decides the only way to be safe is to marry. Taking herself and her aunt to London she sets about the task. Only things keep happening and the man who’d broken her seventeen year old heart is there to pave the way and provide her with backup.

A sort of enemies to lovers romance with intrigue and danger thrown in for good measure. Wonderful!
