Summary
He only wanted a duchess for a day - but she's determined to make it a marriage for life.
When his father and older brother suddenly pass away, the new Duke of Haverly is saddled with a title he never expected to bear. To thwart the plans of his scheming family, the duke impulsively marries a wallflower. After all, she's meek and mild; it should be easy to sequester her in the country and get on with his life - as a secret agent for the Crown.
But his bride has other ideas. She's determined to take her place not only as his duchess but as his wife. As a duchess, she can use her position to help the lowest of society - the women forced into prostitution because they have no skills or hope. Her endeavors are not met favorably in society, nor by her husband who wishes she'd remain in the background as he ordered.
Can the duke succeed in relegating her to the sidelines of his life? When his secrets are threatened with exposure, will his new wife be an asset or a liability?

Too bad about the narrator
Loved the book but really struggled with the narrator. The words were over pronounced in the style of Fronk from Father of the Bride (except in an "upper class" British accent). It did help to listen to it at 1.2x

I want more from this author
I found this quite original and the characters were compelling and complex. What I disliked, was the narration. Although the voices and emotions were all there, I got a toothache from the sweet, dreamy lispel of her performance. I wondered if the technician forgot to place a filter, because all the t's and s's were far too sharp and harsh. Add to that the strange pronunciation of the letter a. I know the English say 'ah' where the Americans say 'eh'. But I never before heard an 'ah' vowel in words like back, perhaps et cetera. It always made me look up and get distracted.
