A tale of cruel circumstance & enduring love.
Shael Nathan Averay, 11th Duke of Stanthorpe, is born to wealth and expectation, but he is no ordinary member of the aristocracy. He is different and he accepts he is a monster.
He is left with only one mission in to secure the Stanthorpe legacy by ensuring his brothers marry ‘perfect women’. Determined, he pays for five sisters to be raised in a style second to none. They are brought to understand that after marriage their lives will not be their own, but a sacrifice for the greater good of Stanthorpe.
Mission near completion, Shael is resigned to a life of a recluse. Absolute and alone. Only the youngest sister is wilful and definitely has a mission of her own. Nelle is determined. The Duke belongs to her.

Hedgerows \u0026 the Imperious Duke Reviews
-
Very interesting, unusual Victorian characters. Hero with strong aversions and compulsive habits, heroine rebellious and wild. They found a way to communicate and support each other in their complete loneliness in their respective families.
I didn't like the way the side characters acted on the story, the heroine's abusive aunt and the violent father. The first changed from almost a killer to the best confident and loving step-mother in few months. The second, turned violent from stern in a single night.
Very good writing and psychological study. I'll have more of this author. Recommended.
