Goodreads Synopsis
Her passion had caught him by surprise and it had been his undoing.

As the youngest of the notorious Templeworth girls, Sophia is determined to be the last of her sisters to remain unwed and unburdened by the shackles of marriage. If she had her way, she’d only have contact with males of the four-legged variety. Namely her horses. And it looks as though that’s exactly how her life will go.

Until the duke.

Devon Blake, the illustrious Duke of Farnshire, is used to getting what he wants, when he wants it. But when Fate lands him with two orphaned charges and absolutely no idea what to do with them, he’s rattled for the first time in his life. He decides that the best thing he can do is find a wife to help navigate this new, terrifying situation. And of course, any woman would kill for the job.

Except Sophia.

With Sophia determined to remain single, and Devon determined to make her his duchess, one of them will have to cave.

Will it be the most stubborn woman in England, or the most determined duke in Scotland who wins?

Will they part as enemies, or will the dashing lord get his winter wedding?

Review
I received an Advance Reader Copy from the publisher, via NetGalley. This in no way impacted on my view.

Sophie Templeton may be the last unwed sister, but she is in no hurry to change that. Her sisters are sickeningly happy in love with their titled husbands, but other than them, she's never found a person she wants to spend time with. No, Sophia is more happy to spend time in the stables, but Devon Blake, the Duke of Farnshire, and his young niece and nephew may be the ones to make her reconsider. The first they met Devon was intrigued with Sophia, but he soon had his sister's orphaned children to care for. Now in company again for Christmas, he sees that Heather and Finn need a mother, and that Sophia will be perfect. But can he convince her of that?

I was expecting Sophia's book to be something, and this was definitely right. Sophia was happy for her sisters, and loved spending time at their homes - mainly to be away from her mother and her plans to marry Sophia off - but no one had ever caught her fancy like Devon had. She cares for him, but fights the attraction. Seeing Sophia turn all mama bear over the children when their nanny is abusive was perfect for her, and I loved that she took them into her heart immediately. Though their relationship wasn't the simplest, it was right for Sophia and Devon, and a great way to end the series!
