Really looked forward to Sophie's story after all she went through with her last husband, it was a solid resolution.

The conclusion of the series with the story of scandalous Sophie Dane, who returns to London after years in the continent following her divorce.

Sophie's experiences have changed her and she doesn't feel like she belongs in the London society anymore. In one of her walks at the park she meets a captivating man whom she feels a strong connection to, but dreading another scandal she has a lot of reservations about her relationship with him.

Caleb, who turns out to be the illegitimate son of an ailing nobleman, lives in the outskirts of society and is aware that there are things that he cannot offer to a wife, but hopes that his connection with Sophie will allow her to overcome them.

Alas things do not happen as they'd wish and a moment of intense stupidity breaks them apart.

Caleb's half brother Trevor's interest in Sophie does not make things any easier but
Spoilerhe is less sane than he appears, drugging his father to keep control of his finances in order to pay for his gambling debts. His schemes are uncovered and he flees, but not after Caleb reunites with Sophie after he rushes after her in order to protect her, despite the harsh words and way they left things
.

All's well that ends well and our heroes and our secondary heroes get their happily ever afters, concluding the series in a happy note.
