What happens when an impoverished duke with a reputation for being a rogue collides with a strong-willed heiress who wants to explore the world? An unlikely friendship…and unexpected passion.

Cailin Audley doesn’t fit in with Polite Society. A life spent among the working class taught her to value her independence in a way no newfound fortune or glittering ballroom could ever erase. When a major misstep sees the new heiress whisked away to the English countryside, Cailin soon realizes the vexing lengths her family will go to see her settled.  But having risked her heart once before, Cailin has no interest in the men of the ton—especially not the frustratingly charming Duke of St. James.
 
Courtland Balfour, the Duke of St. James, devoted brother and notorious rogue, despises what he must become—a fortune hunter. But with the ducal coffers drained by his late, spendthrift of a father, Courtland knows his duty lies at the altar and he will do anything to ensure a future for his siblings. Just his luck that the one lady who could make this new fate bearable, who enflames him like no other, is the one woman who wants nothing to do with him or his title.
 
But when an act of desperation inadvertently lands he and Cailin at the heart of another scandal, Courtland knows better than to waste his chance. Surely he can convince Cailin to love him?

      Since being acknowledged as the Duke of Bentley's illegitimate progeny, Cailin Audley and her brothers have resisted joining their father in London's polite society, but an unexpected visit from one of the Balfour brothers changes Cailin's mind. Switching places with his twin, Courtland Balfour, the Duke of St. James, attempts to entice the beautiful, bold young woman to journey to London. Among mistaken identities, etiquette faux pas, and a house party in the country, Cailin and Courtland find friendship, scandal, and, quite possibly, love. Timothy Campbell returns with a diverting narration of yet another of Caldwell's historical romance novels, this being the second in her "All the Duke's Sins" series. With expressive character voices that are easily distinguishable, Campbell keeps the listener entertained. His lively delivery moves the story along, from Courtland and Caitlin's first heated meeting to their prerequisite happily ever after. Campbell's ability to capture the multitude of emotions experienced by the protagonists further engages listeners and brings the story to life. VERDICT Purchase for collections where Caldwell's books and historical romance audiobooks are popular.--Amanda L. S. Murphy
