His Duchess at Eventide (A Legend to Love, #11) by Wendy LaCapraMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
His Duchess at Eventide by Wendy LaCapra is book Two in the Mythic Dukes Series. This is the story of Lord Cheverley 'Chev', son of the Duke of Ithwick and Penelope. I have read the previous book but feel you can make this a standalone book if you wish to do so.
Chev and Penelope married young and only together just a short time because his father gave Chev a ultimatum to annul the marriage or take a military commission. Chev choose to take the Navy commission and not annul the marriage. But that choice would leave him to danger and for his family to think him dead. Several years later Chev escapes the brutality that he was in to return home but doesn't admit to who he is at first. Penelope was left abandoned by her husband to find that she is expecting a child. Now all these years later she has a son who she is doing all that she can to keep them above water. Penelope doesn't recognize Chev but she is drawn to him and is thrown off by that...but love wins as it should. This does have some dark scenes. This was another great story by Ms. LaCapra.
