Corsets and Capers

Instead, the carriage arrives empty - and he receives a ransom note demanding six hundred gold sovereigns.The duke is aghast. London is scandalised. And somewhere in the city, a gentleman rogue in a white top hat is smiling.What follows is a frothy tangle of mistaken identities, outrageous ransom demands, dashing scoundrels, and one baffled but determined duke - all in pursuit of a duchess who may not be quite as "lost" as everyone thinks…Brimming with sparkling banter, delicious absurdity and a mischievous twist ending, The Lost Duchess is a fast-paced Edwardian romp full of charm, intrigue and laughter. A quick, lighthearted read - perfect for a cup of tea and a smile. I hail from Liverpool, lived in London, and now stay on the soggy west coast of Scotland with my third husband.
