He's not like other dukes…

Paris, 1889

Physician Aurora Montalban Wright takes risks in her career, but never with her heart. Running an underground women’s clinic exposes her to certain dangers, but help arrives in the unexpected form of the infuriating Duke of Annan. Begrudgingly, Aurora accepts his protection, then promptly finds herself in his bed.

New to his role as a duke, Apollo César Sinclair Robles struggles to embrace his position. With half of society waiting for him to misstep and the other half looking to discredit him, Apollo never imagined that his enthralling bedmate would become his most trusted adviser. Soon, he realizes the rebellious doctor could be the perfect duchess for him. But Aurora won’t give up her independence, and her secrets make her unsuitable for the aristocracy.

When dangerous figures from their pasts return to threaten them, Apollo whisks Aurora away to the French Riviera. Far from the reproachful eye of Parisian society, can Apollo convince Aurora that their bond is stronger than the forces keeping them apart?

Can't get enough of the Las Leonas?

Captivating Romance with Rich Historical and Cultural Context

I loved this series and the third book did not disappoint. The romance story line had all the feels and did a great job executing the usual historical romance tropes. But this book has so much more. The FMC was strong,
smart and purpose driven. It is inspiring and fascinating to imagine what it must have been like to be an educated woman who defied societal norms at that time, much less a woman of color. I loved the historical context, the South American and Caribbean cultural references, and situating successful people of color and gay characters in this historical period. All while giving us the swoons and tropes we want if we like historical romance.

Just the book we need to inspire hope

Loved every second. My favorite book out of the series. Aurora's upbringing was what made her the fierce Leona who could handle everything she was thrown and still keep her man. Apollo is my favorite duke I have ever had the chance reading. His love and giving qualities made him perfect for Aurora.

I love this series so much

When a book makes me go do research because I get so wrapped in a story; It goes beyond just fiction and gives so much more to the reader. Thank you for the history lessons and the heartfelt story.

Wonderful conclusion to these series

I have loved this series so much and I am a huge fan of Adrianna Herrera’s work. It’s refreshing seeing people of color in period romances where they aren’t servants or slaves. The narrator does a good job but her male voice is just okay. With that being said I still loved the story and this sweet and spicy conclusion to the Las Leonas series.
