As the mysterious leader of the Bastion Club known as "Dalziel," Royce Varisey, 10th Duke of Wolverstone, served his country for decades, facing dangers untold. But as the holder of one of England's most august noble titles, he must now take on that gravest duty of all: marriage.
Yet the young ladies the grandes dames would have him consider are predictably boring. Far more tempting is his castle's willful and determindedly aloof chatelaine, Minerva Chesterton. Beneath her serene facade lies a woman of smoldering sensuality, one who will fill his days with comfort and his nights with sheer pleasure. Determined to claim her, he embarks on a seduction to prove his mastery over every inch of her body...and every piece of her heart.

From the other Bastion Club series, we only come to know him as Dalziel, the enigmatic commander with mysterious background. Mastered By Love tells all there is need to know of Dalziel or Royce Varisey, the 10th Duke of Wolverstone.
I was waiting patiently for this book because I am forever fascinated with Dalziel. Not much is said of Dalziel in other Bastion Club series. Perhaps to maintain the air of mystery that surrounds him.
As for me, the book is quiet good. Not on par as some Bastion Club series but it's good. Perhaps Royce is not up to my expectation. But then again perhaps my expectation is high. Royce, to my opinion, is not as enigmatic as Dalziel.
Minerva, though, is likable. A perfect match for Royce. That's about it, I think.
