The Reluctant Duchess by Sharon Cullen

Sara goes to Lord Rossmoyne, who was her cousin Merediths fiance, after receiving threatening letters from the person who killed her cousin. Ross vows to protect Sara no matter what, because he failed to protect his fiance Meredith. While Sara is residing Ross' house, they become friends. The longer Sara lives there the more they fall for each other. The problem is that Ross thinks Sara can never forgive him for not protecting Meredith and Sara thinks that she woud be a terrible Duchess because she does not enjoy society, and she thinks a Duke needs a wife who likes to entertain and go to balls. It is a wonderfully written story with characters you can't help but like. I really enjoyed reading this book and look forward to reading more books by Sharon.   I was given a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
