Synopsis
The men of the Bastion Club proved their bravery secretly fighting for their country. Now their leader faces that most dangerous mission of all: finding a bride.
As the mysterious leader of the Bastion Club known as 'Dalziel,' Royce Varisey, tenth Duke of Wolverstone, served his country for decades, facing dangers untold. But as the holder of one of England's most august noble titles, he must now take on that gravest duty of all: marriage.
Yet the young ladies the grand dames would have him consider are predictably boring. Far more tempting is his castle's willful and determinedly aloof chatelaine, Minerva Chesterton. Beneath her serene faÇade lies a woman of smoldering sensuality, one who will fill his days with comfort and his nights with sheer pleasure. Determined to claim her, he embarks on a seduction to prove his mastery over every inch of her body . . . and every piece of her heart.

Reviews
I,too was disappointed in the final book of the Bastian Club series.The suspense was sorely missing, but I found fault with the romantic part,too. The heroine started as an interesting character, but devolved into a simpering wimp who totally subjugated herself to the hero. He was arrogant and overbearing, despite constant ***urances that he wasnt nearly as bad as his father had been. Sorry, not good enough. While claiming to love the heroine as she was, he was determined to ruin her and break her spirit before letting her know that. I know people actually do such things, but I cant approve. Too bad. All in all, it was a pretty good series: far superior to those annoying Cynsters
