Year Without a Duke

A Year Without a Duke The duke has died. Long live the duke! The only problem is no one knows who the new Duke of Beckworth is. All of England wonders, but no one more so than the people who depend upon Beckworth for their livelihood. In 1816, a year so cold that the word "summer" is a cruel joke, that livelihood is even more uncertain. However, they are all about to find out, with the duke away, there is nothing more warming than scandal and love... Seduced in September, Book Three: Adele Vere is the model of a perfect English governess: docile, good-tempered, and well principled. She's worked her entire life to keep others from knowing the truth-it's all a façade. If her origins were discovered, she'd fall too far to ever recover. No one is more dangerous to her than Edward Coyne, the roguish stable master tasked with her riding lessons. His knowing gaze and bold touches make her suspect that he sees through her lies. When Mr. Coyne surprises her with an audacious offer, she must choose: remain safely behind the walls she's erected... or dare the fall she so fears in her reach for love.
