Maximillian Shaw, the Duke of Westborune, has been in a disastrous marriage once and vowed to do things completely differently the second time around. He needs an heir and came to London to look for a bride. He starts being very particular to marry in the appropriate class for himself, that can handle British society. Evie Harlow is a bookshop owner. Proud of making a living for herself, during a time when that was not always the case for women, she still struggles a bit. Her shop needs work and she does not even consider any luxuries for herself. She is the opposite of what Max is looking for.
As is alluded to in the title, Max tries to rescue Evie from a bad situation by helping her become the diamond of the season. She thinks it’s ridiculous, but also, it’s a nice change of pace from her life. Max is a bit like the fairy godmother in this situation. Things quickly take a turn. Max and Evie start to have feelings for each other. They definitely have the chemistry that starts to burn hotter the more they get to know each other. It is a slow burn romance, so the focus is on relationship building. Both of the characters grow throughout the story. They complement each other. This is just a really sweet romance that was fun to read. I highly recommend it.
