Denying the Duke by Callie Hutton
Four years ago, Alex, a second son, had planned a life together with Lady Patience. However, when Patience was betrothed to his brother, the heir, Alex left his family’s estate and joined the military.
Alex returns to assume the title Duke of Bedford when his brother unexpectedly dies. He is unprepared for both his new responsibilities and the reunion with Patience. The horrors of war are a heavy burden, and when he learns that Patience never married his brother, he is stunned.
Patience withstood the bullying of her fiancé and her father for four long years. She refuses to marry Alex just because he’s the duke, especially if he no longer loves her. How would that be better than what she has already endured? Promises made in their youth are not enough to overcome the changes life has wrought for them but love can grow and transform, if only Patience could believe that.

*Spoiler Alert! Fair warning on this one...it does have some domestic violence (NOT the Hero!) involved. Not a great deal, but enough that it might be a trigger for someone. With that being said, this was by far better than the book 2 and almost as good as book 1 in the series. It, at least, had a decent plot, a really good story line, and had the romance and passion lacking in the second, but prevalent in the first. The angst was present and at just the right level. While the other two books had a bit of mystique, this one had more intrigue than the other two. The extra characters were well thought out, with just the right amount of villainy and dread one would expect to find in a good romance novel.
