She overhears him insulting her to his uncle, dismissing her as "not a real Wilde." Her indignation frees her from her shyness, allowing her to display a biting wit and surprising backbone when she confronts him, leading Devin to fall hard and fast. In the standout scene of Viola and Devin's first meeting, Devin retreats from the festivities for the library, where Viola has arranged a clandestine meeting with her vicar. Meanwhile, the reclusive Devin Elstan, Duke of Wynter, feels obligated to find a wife and plans to approach Viola's stepsister at their joint coming out ball. But her crush on her family's new vicar has her determined to come out of her shell for her first London season. Devin Lucas Agustus Elstan, Duke of Wynter, will stop at nothing to marry Viola Astley, including marrying a woman whom he believes. Viola Astley, stepdaughter to Hugo Wilde, Duke of Lindow, is painfully shy in company due partly to her insecurity that she will never measure up to her vivacious stepfamily. James delivers all the banter and sizzle her fans expect in the nuanced fifth Wildes of Lindow Castle Georgian romance (after Say No to the Duke). A shy wallflower meets her dream man - or does she - in the next book in New York Times best-selling author Eloisa James Wildes of. ![]()
