Once Upon a Time . . .
Maria Martingale was going to elope. But Phillip Hawthorne, Marquess of Kayne, put a stop to those plans when he learned his younger brother intended to marry a cook's daughter. Now, twelve years later, Maria discovers that the man who holds her fate in his hands is none other than the haughty gentleman who sent her packing—and he's as handsome and arrogant as ever.
Happily Ever After?
Always the proper gentleman, Phillip will do anything to protect his family from scandal, and when Maria dares to move in right next door, he knows scandal will surely follow. She is as tempting as he remembered . . . and the more he sees her, the harder it is for Phillip to keep his own secret desire for her a secret . . .

Secret Desires of a Gentleman
I love romances with the "I've always loved you" trope. I love enemies to lovers. I love stuffy heroes. A book that combined these three things should have been PERFECT for me, if only the author hadn't forced some P&P aspects that messed everything up.
Like in P&P,Mr. Darcy, the Marquess proposes while telling Miss Bennett Maria that she's beneath him socially and how he's proposing against his will. Like Miss Bennett, Maria tells him there's no force in the world that would compel her to marry him. This stupid proposal made no sense whatsoever in this book:
a) Philip & Maria knew each other as children. Didn't he realize she wouldn't take well to a proposal of that nature?
b) Unlike Mr. Darcy he didn't confess his feelings but said he only desired her. A man who had loved a woman for 10+ years should have a better understanding of his feelings.
c) Unlike many of his peers, he runs his own business so he doesn't mind flounting convention. So he why would he mind marrying a social inferior, specially when he's crazy in love with her?
The public proposal at the end maddened me even more. This could have been so freaking good if the author would have just let the story unfold.
