When Persephone Lancaster receives a marriage proposal from the ill-tempered Duke of Kielder, she refuses—and then reconsiders. The obscene sum of money he’s offering Persephone would save her family from ruin. With her characteristic optimism, she travels to the far reaches of Northumberland to wed a greatly feared stranger. Lodged deep in a thick forest infested with wild dogs, the Duke’s castle is as cold and forbidding as the Duke himself, a man with terrible scars on his body and his soul. But the Duke’s steely determination to protect his heart at all costs is challenged by his growing attachment to his lovely and gentle bride. With caring persistence, Persephone attempts to pierce the Duke’s armor and reach the man beneath. Yet he cannot tolerate such exposure, and his repeated rejections take their toll. But when grave danger arises, the Duke realizes he must face the risk of revealing his true feelings or lose the woman he cannot live without.

I read this book, and enjoyed it very much.
In response to the reviewer who gave this book only three stars, I would counter that there were some Viennese who objected to the movie "The Sound of Music" because the shots in the film didn't exactly match the story as it "really happened". Whether or not the Northumberland she knows today looked like Northumberland in the early 1800s is unlikely, and ultimately irrelevant to the reader's enjoyment of this story. Whether or not the setting is exactly historically accurate doesn't matter in the least from your average reader's perspective. Ms. Eden's depictions of a lonely, wild and isolated setting around the Kielder estate I found to be a highly effective setting that mirrored and magnified Perspephone's own feelings of isolation.
Again, to insinuate that every British schoolboy with a close male friend from public school has to be a closet homosexual is media-induced exaggeration, and reading things into the story that just aren't there. I got no "gay vibes" from my own reading of the relationship between Adam and his friend Harry.
As far as the wolves are concerned, while they may be extinct today, there is no reliable indication of when they became extinct. I did a "Google" search, as the three-star reviewer suggested, and found that, while wolves in general in England did seem to be mostly gone around the mid-1700s, some apocryphal stories do exist that placed the time of the wolves' final appearance in England to be around 1835 - well within the time-frame of this novel, which would also explain their starving and desperate state and also their proximity to the castle, such as they were in the book.
