In the swoon-worthy finale of her Love on Holiday series, Christy Carlyle takes readers to the breathtaking coast of Ireland where a pretty, young countess's secretary agrees to impersonate her mistress to help a duke appease his fortune-hunting family...until he falls for her instead.

"Simply delightful!" —Julia Quinn

Miss Evelyn Graves has never had a holiday. She is much too busy as the personal secretary to the Countess of Waverly. But the Duke of Ballymore Castle in Connemara, Ireland, has invited the countess to visit—and as the countess cannot travel, she has insisted Evelyn go in her stead. Except when Evie arrives, everyone mistakes her for the countess—and it's clear the family who owns crumbling Ballymore were hoping to match the widowed countess with Alexander Pierpont, Duke of Rennick. Though Alex knows the truth of Evie's identity, he has an unusual request. He'll happily show her hospitality if she'll agree to let others think she's the countess during her visit.

There's just one problem: as time runs out on their arrangement and Alex increasingly fears he must in fact marry an heiress to save his family's fortunes, he finds that his heart now belongs to Miss Evie Graves...and he can't bring himself to let her go.

      Alexander is the Duke of Rennick, whose his father--in order to get Alex to marry and secure the ducal line--is threatening Ballymore Castle, the one place Alex feels at home. Alex's beloved aunt plays matchmaker to help him save their home, but Alex cannot bring himself to marry any of the women on her list. Miss Evelyn Graves has always prided herself in her work as the personal secretary of a duchess. She has not had time to take a holiday, but she acquiesces when her employer asks her to travel to Ireland to help at an event held by Rennick. The duke's family, however, mistakes her for the duchess. Instead of correcting them, Alex asks Evie to pretend she is the duchess to appease his family. Evie agrees, even though she has reservations about him, and neither of them expects for their hearts to become involved in this impossible situation. VERDICT Carlyle completes her "Love on Holiday" trilogy (after Lady Meets Earl) with characters fans will adore. Hand to readers who love the fake-dating trope and the hijinks of a romantic comedy.--Morgan Lockard
