ARC: The Reluctant Duchess by Sharon Cullen

Perfect for fans of Mary Balogh and Eloisa James, Sharon Cullen's seductive new historical romance ignites as a shy country girl and a hotheaded duke surrender to dangerous temptations. 

Lady Sara Emerson was jolted out of her dull provincial life by her cousin's murder. Now that the killer seems to be targeting her, Sara seeks help from the man who was once her cousin's fiancé, Gabriel Ferguson, Duke of Rossmoyne. With his towering frame and fiery personality, Ross cuts an intimidating figure. Living under his protection, however, has its own hazards—like the sudden urge Sara feels to take their relationship in new, exquisitely inappropriate directions.

Dazzled by the social graces of his betrothed, Ross never noticed her shy, blushing cousin. Looking at Sara now, though, he's drawn to her lovely eyes and calm disposition. Funny how a year away from the hustle and bustle of the ton changes a man. But Ross has no intention of allowing a woman to interfere with his plan to return overseas. He will simply capture the murderer and set sail once again. The problem is, with her beguiling lips and heavenly touch, Sara makes him never want to leave home—or his bed—again.

Reluctant Duchess by Sharon Cullen is a tasty historical treat.  The Duke of Rossmoyne will have you turning the pages as he fights his attraction to Sara.  I truly enjoyed the mystery and the tantalizing late hour library rendezvouses. Cullen is becoming a favorite!
