Description:

He was her bitterest enemy…
Ash Turner has waited a lifetime to seek revenge on the man who ruined his family—and now the time for justice has arrived. At Parford Manor, he intends to take his place as the rightful heir to the dukedom and settle an old score with the current duke once and for all. But instead he finds himself drawn to a tempting beauty who has the power to undo all his dreams of vengeance….
And her dearest love

Lady Margaret knows she should despise the man who's stolen her fortune and her father's legacy—the man she's been ordered to spy on in the guise of a nurse. Yet the more she learns about the new duke, the less she can resist his smoldering appeal. Soon Margaret and Ash find themselves torn between old loyalties—and the tantalizing promise of passion…

My Review:

Ash Turner wanted his revenge and now has arrived at Parford Manor where he belongs.  He has brought to the attention that the current duke is a bigamist he was still married to his first wife when he married his second.  From that marriage his children where then considered bastards. 

His younger brother, Mark, had joined him he is against Ash’s need for revenge.

At first sight his eyes caught, Miss Margaret Lowell, the current duke’s nurse.  He claimed her, he wanted her, and he did not care what society thought.

Lady Margaret the daughter of the current duke plays the nurse as she spies on Ash.  Through the book Margaret forms a bond to Ash, a bond she wish she did not have.  She fought to report what she found out about Ash.  Should she betray him or her family?

It is clear how her father feels about her and her brothers, to him, now his sons are just as bad as women are because they are bastards.  Her brothers are fighting tying to be reinstated as legitimate however, there is a catch.

Would Margaret chose her family over Ash?  Would Ash give up his need for revenge for Margaret?  Would Ash gain the dukedom or would Margaret’s father remain as duke?

Unveiled kept me wanting to read more.  The tension between Margaret and Ash was clear.  I enjoyed reading a male character that did not care about what society thinks for he was not raised within the society circles. 

I fell in love with Ash.  Both Margaret and Ash felt real to me and I cannot wait to read more of the Turners!
