Meet the unforgettable men of London's most notorious tavern, The Wicked Duke. Seductively handsome, with charm and wit to spare, one night with these rakes and rogues will never be enough...
After one passionate night a decade ago, Valentine Fairfax, Duke of Eastleigh, never forgot Isabelle, the intelligent, witty and forbidden daughter of a head of college at Oxford. However, since suffering a disastrous marriage to an unfaithful wife, the duke has vowed never to succumb to temptation again. Until the day he discovers his friend’s governess is the one woman who still haunts his dreams.
Once penniless, Isabelle Cortland has finally saved enough money to finance a school for impoverished girls. But when a chance encounter rekindles buried desires, Isabelle knows she can’t be a duke’s mistress and a headmistress at the same time. No longer a naïve girl, Isabelle won’t repeat the past. Not even for one night of surrender...

One Night of Surrender is book two in the Wicked Dukes Club series by Darcy Burke. I liked this book, but it wasn’t as good as the first one in this series. Still, Burke is one of my favorite authors and I am usually not disappointed with her stories. I felt there was a lack of chemistry between the hero and heroine. I did enjoy the humor in the book and I liked the character of Isabelle Cortland. She is sweet and strong at the same time. One of my very favorite characters is Viola, the hero’s sister. She is a hoot. Overall, it was a good book, but not my favorite from this author.
