With her wedding to the Duke of Marlow looming, Rosalind Newbury wants to have no regrets and makes a list of ten things to do before she marries. Ros invites her best friend Liza along, but Liza’s wayward cousin, a boxer named Charlie, is visiting and quickly finds out about the list. After accidentally helping to cross off two items, Ros reluctantly agrees he can help with the rest. As the three progress through the list, their adventures eventually take a dangerous turn, and Marlow finds out. Ros tries to call off the wedding, confessing her love for Charlie, but the duke threatens her family, determined the marriage takes place so he can obtain a parcel of Newbury land as part of the marriage contract. Ros must decide between following her heart or protecting her family.
VERDICT Walker (Lakeshire Park) creates a winning champion in Charlie, who grows from a tempestuous man to one of restraint without losing his mischievousness. The easy friendship and slow-burning chemistry between Charlie and Ros will warm readers’ hearts.
