GOODREADS

Spinster Miss Eleanor Lockhart is suddenly homeless and employment is her only option. Ruined after succumbing to a scoundrel’s excessive charm nearly a decade ago, she’s lucky to obtain a position as a paid companion and committed to behaving with the utmost propriety. She definitely shouldn’t be in the arms of a man capable of utterly destroying what little remains of her reputation...

Titus St. John, Duke of Kendal, is known as the Forbidden Duke, a mysterious, intimidating figure who enters Society just once each year at his stepmother’s ball. A decade ago, he was a devil-may-care rake until his idle roguery brought about the ruin of Eleanor Lockhart—and his resulting self-imposed isolation. Now she’s back, and she needs his help. But by “saving” her, he may just ruin her life all over again. 

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Miss Eleanor Lockhart has got to find somewhere to live and an income since her father lost everything.  She destroyed her chances of marriage years ago by allowing a rake a kiss and being ruined.  Hopefully she can be a lady's companion. 
Titus St. John the Duke of Kendal regrets the way he and his friends behaved years ago.  He now stays away from society and concentrates on his lands and family. 
A lovely romance that gives everyone hope for a second chance.  All the characters are a lot of fun and learn what is really important in life and what is not. 
This is the beginning of a fabulous series.  Each book can be read alone. 
I loved it.
