Young pups copied&nbsp;his dress style. Toad-eaters mimicked his behavior in futile attempts to ingratiate themselves&nbsp;into his life. Conservative groups applauded his somber public behavior, while cartoonists&nbsp;ridiculed his straight-laced demeanor and suggested he take a mistress. Or two.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Whichever way people viewed him, no one had dared ridicule him to his face. Until this&nbsp;evening. The Countess had side-stepped his butler and marched into his drawing room as if&nbsp;an unannounced call upon an unmarried duke was something she did regularly. Max had&nbsp;informed her, in great detail, of the extensive search he and his cousin had undertaken to&nbsp;locate her and the other women. She\u2019d huffed and rolled her eyes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Normally, his month-about- mistresses gleefully accepted his proposal because sharing a duke\u2019s bed for a month&nbsp;would set them up for the rest of their lives. Apart from the financial benefits, he was a&nbsp;generous lover. One benefit of his abnormal upbringing had been an early and full education&nbsp;into what women wanted in a bed partner. Until the Countess had laughed at him, he\u2019d never&nbsp;had reason to doubt his sexual prowess. In the brief time she\u2019d been in his house, she\u2019d&nbsp;challenged several of his beliefs.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIt\u2019s the ideal solution.\u201d And something he needed. \u201cI will help you search my&nbsp;grandfather\u2019s boxes by day and, in exchange, you\u2019ll make yourself available to me in the&nbsp;evenings.\u201d Max waited, unsure what to expect. An odd situation for a man who prided&nbsp;himself on reading adversaries as easily as he tallied the accounts. <a href=\"http:\/\/books2read.com\/suziloveFTAV\">books2read.com\/suziloveFTAV<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-ub-click-to-tweet ub_click_to_tweet\" id=\"ub_click_to_tweet_0a1315a8-a6ac-4dc2-bcac-ec1df9129173\" style=\"border-color: #CCCCCC; \">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"ub_tweet\" style=\"font-size: 20px; color: ;\">\n\t\t\t\tTortured duke reunites with mysterious lady to unravel past secrets and expose evil men. #RegencyRomance. #HistoricalMystery #ReadARegency #historicaleroticromance  books2read.com\/suziloveFTAV\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"ub_click_tweet\">\n\t\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewbox=\"0 0 512 512\"><path fill=\"#171111\" d=\"M389.2 48h70.6L305.6 224.2L487 464H345L233.7 318.6L106.5 464H35.8l164.9-188.5L26.8 48h145.6l100.5 132.9zm-24.8 373.8h39.1L151.1 88h-42z\"><\/path><\/svg>\n\t\t\t\t<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?&amp;text=Tortured%20duke%20reunites%20with%20mysterious%20lady%20to%20unravel%20past%20secrets%20and%20expose%20evil%20men.%20%23RegencyRomance.%20%23HistoricalMystery%20%23ReadARegency%20%23historicaleroticromance%20%20books2read.com%2FsuziloveFTAV&amp;url=https:\/\/www.suzilove.com\/?p=38172\">Post On X<\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized is-style-default\"><a href=\"https:\/\/books2read.com\/suziloveFTAV\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.suzilove.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/D2D_RetailerBuyLink_FTAV_2.png\" alt=\"FTAV_D2D_RetailerBuyLink\nhttps:\/\/books2read.com\/suziloveFTAV\" class=\"wp-image-21123\" width=\"457\" height=\"200\"\/><\/a><figcaption>FTAV_D2D_RetailerBuyLink\nhttps:\/\/books2read.com\/suziloveFTAV<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tortured duke reunites with mysterious lady to unravel past secrets and expose evil men. #RegencyRomance. #HistoricalMystery #ReadARegency #historicaleroticromance  books2read.com\/suziloveFTAV<\/p>\n <a class=\"more-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.suzilove.com\/?p=38172\"><span class=\"more-msg\">Continue reading &rarr;<\/span><\/a>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[964,497,977,978,515,476,495],"tags":[513,191,223,895,228,514,552,1118,358],"class_list":["post-38172","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-1800s","category-england","category-four-times-a-virgin","category-irresistible-aristocrats","category-london","category-regency-era","category-suzi-love-books","tag-book-2","tag-four-times-a-virgin","tag-historical-erotic-romance","tag-historical-mystery","tag-historical-romance","tag-irresistible-aristocrats","tag-mystery","tag-readaregency","tag-regency-romance"],"featured_image_src":null,"author_info":{"display_name":"Suzi Love","author_link":"https:\/\/www.suzilove.com\/?author=1"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.2 -
