A Scandal By Any Other Name

A Scandal By Any Other Name

{ COMPLETED } BOOK TWO OF THE HAMILTON SERIES WARNING: A Regency Era novel. Adult content with detailed smut…Read at you own risk Genre: Historical Romance / Smut / Enemies-to-Lovers / Mystery / Comedy / Found family [Book Two of the Hamilton Series. Can be read as a standalone, but better enjoyed after Lady Ines’ Scandalous Hobby.] To the world, Duke Rowan Hamilton is the perfect gentleman. But in the bedroom, he is a man possessed. Rowan Hamilton has it all: a Ducal title, the face of a fallen angel, and a smile that makes debutantes faint. He is the "Golden Duke"—charming, responsible, and utterly adored by society. But it’s all a lie. Beneath the coats and polite manners, Rowan is a man haunted by a ghost. For three years, he has remained faithful to the memory of a masked woman who stole a kiss, bested him at a game of chance, and vanished into the night. He doesn't want any one as his wife; he wants her. When his domineering aunt tires of his bachelorhood, she hires London’s most notorious underground matchmaker to force the issue. Enter Miss Delaney Kingsley. She is sharp-tongued, infuriatingly competent, and entirely unimpressed by his title. Her mission? To drag Rowan to the altar with the season’s "Diamond," Lady Celine, within three months to collect the juicy payment Rowan’s aunt had to offer. Rowan intends to fire the meddlesome woman. But when Delaney looks at him with those hazel, intelligent eyes and orders him around like a young lad, he feels the first spark of life he’s felt in years. He decides to play her game. He will let her find him a wife. But he has no intention of choosing anyone even Lady Celine. "You were hired to find me a Duchess, Miss Kingsley. But the only person I want in my duchy and in my bed... is you." As mysteries turn into forbidden nights and the bickering turns into scorching passion, Rowan begins to suspect that his matchmaker is hiding a secret of her own. She moves like a shadow, handles a rifle like a soldier, and tastes exactly like the ghost he’s been hunting for three years. What to Expect: * High Stake Mystery: They try to untangle themselves from the Farrington’s trap. * The Golden Retriever Duke: Who turns into a possessive Alpha behind closed doors. * The Matchmaker Trope: She’s trying to marry him off; he’s trying to take her clothes off. * High Heat: Slow burn that explodes into intense smut. * Competence Kink: He falls harder every time she bosses him around. * Cameos: Featuring the chaotic domestic life of Duchess Ines and Duke Carcel (and their baby Harry!). Excerpt: "Your Grace, please focus," Delaney snapped, adjusting his cravat with efficient, gloved hands. "Lady Celine is waiting in the ballroom. You must look at her as if she is the only woman in the world." Rowan caught her wrist, stopping her movements. He stepped into her space, backing her against the heavy oak door of the study, his "Golden Boy" mask slipping to reveal the hunger beneath. "And how, exactly, does one do that, Miss Kingsley?" he whispered, his voice rough. "Show me." "I—I cannot show you, It I s not in my place to—" "Then teach me," he growled, lowering his head until his lips brushed the sensitive skin of her neck. "Teach me how to pretend I am not burning alive every time you walk into a room."

In her previous life, the female protagonist died unjustly and was reborn when she was five years old. She went from being hated by everyone to being a famous female doctor. However, the readers also pointed out many problems with this book. " A Family Reborn in the End of the World " was a science fiction novel written in the past. The female protagonist was reborn before the end of the world and had to bring her family to live on. The character information in the book was very detailed. " Reborn in the Best In-laws 'Home ", written by J Niannian. It was a modern romance about love and marriage. The female protagonist was kind in her previous life but was schemed against by her in-laws. After her rebirth, she had to dominate her fate. " Ji Ben Wu Liang " was an ancient romance novel created by Whose Puppet Doll?

Is Xiao Wei worthy of sympathy?
In a story with Xiao Wei as the protagonist, there were different opinions on whether Xiao Wei was worthy of sympathy. In some ways, Xiao Wei deserved sympathy. Take Xiao Wei in Painted Skin as an example. She loved Wang Sheng deeply, but Wang Sheng already had a wife. Although Little Wei was a fox fairy and had the ability to charm all living beings, in front of love, she was just a character that could not be obtained. In order to get Wang Sheng, she had used all kinds of methods, including weaving beautiful dreams for him. Although these methods were somewhat unscrupulous, from the point of view of her desire for love, she was just a poor person who was trapped in the swamp of love. She had been cultivating for a thousand years, but it was rare for her to find true love in the human world. In the end, she even lost Wang Sheng. This was a tragedy. However, from another perspective, Xiao Wei was not worthy of sympathy. In order to achieve her goals, she disregarded the lives and happiness of others. She used the demon poison to turn Wang Sheng's wife Peirong into a white-haired demoness, making Peirong suffer the pain of being beaten and killed by everyone. This kind of behavior was very cruel. She wanted to replace Peirong as Mrs. Wang, showing a strong possessiveness and selfishness. Therefore, whether Xiao Wei was worthy of sympathy depended on which angle one looked at her behavior and experience. <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>
