"Another fantastic entry in the Lucky Seven series!"

Diana was only 16 years old when her father forced her to marry Baron Huntley. David, the Duke of Smythingdale, came to Diana's aid as she tried to save a puppy from her husband's hooligans. She fell in love with David that day. He also fell in love with Diana, but since she was married, he could do nothing but lend her support.

Five years have passed, Baron Huntley has died, and Diana is facing another of her father's matchmaking schemes. David has just returned to England after being held prisoner. He wants to roam England and take a break from his ducal duties until he can find some inner peace. Instead of peace, he finds Diana, who's trying to escape her family and to get to her godmother's home. He follows and gets her out of one scrape after another. David feels that if she's going to marry anyone, it will be him.

With David striving to see England as a commoner rather than as a duke, and also trying to keep Diana safe with her knack for getting into trouble, plus a little magic and mystery, this story is wonderful. It's one of the Lucky Seven series, and I can hardly wait for the next installment. All have been fantastic stories that I've thoroughly enjoyed. Thanks, Christina, I loved this one.
