Description (publisher website)
The handsome fifth Duke of Blakewell is more interested in card parties, horse racing, and carousing than in settling down to manage his extensive estate and vast fortune. When young Miss Henrietta Tweed arrives on his doorstep and announces he's her new guardian, she also tells him that a family curse accompanies her, and each of her previous guardians has met an untimely end. Finding her remarkably capable and cool-headed, Blake sets about to get her a husband, but finds something wrong with every one of her suitors.

When Blake suffers a series of accidents, Henrietta is more than ever convinced she must free him from the cursed guardianship. Just as Blake realizes he wants nothing more than to marry her himself, she accepts a suitor and now he has to win her back. But someone or something definitely seems out to get him, and one final accident may prove to be deadly.

Review
A Duke and his ward and lots of accidents pretty much describes this book. It was such a fun story. I definitely got caught up in this story because it was very realistic and the storyline kept moving at a pretty good pace. There were no sighing women and overbearing men, just well written realistic characters. It has plenty of romance and sexual tension, as well as a fun plot. This book is definitely one to add to your list whether you just like romance or historical romance.
