Lady Lavinia Gillingham prefers rocks and dirt to marriage. Her passion is science, and she’s determined to marry if—and only if—she finds a man who supports her interests and intellect. So far, she’s managed to avoid attention on the Marriage Mart, but when the Duke of Seduction pens anonymous letters singing her praises, she suddenly becomes the toast of the ton and matrimony seems imminent.

William Beckett, Marquess of Northam possesses the reputation of a rake but is secretly a romantic. Spurned at sixteen and knowing his sister was victimized by Society, he uses music and poetry to fill the void in his soul. As the Duke of Seduction, he uses his skill to help Lavinia, never anticipating she has no desire for assistance or that she could be the balm he needs. But when she’s on the verge of becoming engaged, can Beck beat back the shadows of the past and open his heart again?

The Duke of Seduction is book ten in The Untouchables Series by Darcy Burke. This book can truly be read as a stand alone. Lady Lavinia Gillingham is a blue stocking whose parents are pressuring her to marry. But she only wants someone who will support her geological endeavors. William Beckett, Marquess of Northam is a rake with a secret. He anonymously publishes romantic poems for wallflowers of the ton. When he decides to use his hidden talent to “help” Lady Gillingham, he has no idea the fire storm of romance that he will step into. I really enjoyed this book. However, I have to say that Burke’s writing lacks an emotional depth that I have found in other romance stories. I can’t put my finger on it. However, I am going to go back and read each one. I won a copy of this book.
