What this book is about

Wulfric Bedwyn, Duke of Bewcastle, is the family patriarch—cold, controlled, never without his composure. Christine Derrick is a widow who finds him hilarious. Slightly Dangerous is the series' finale and Balogh's most acclaimed book: a love story between a man who has locked away every feeling and a woman who makes him feel all of them.
