Her Duke of Duty and Desire
Her Duke of Duty and Desire
A Governess's Gamble on an Impossible Duke
Book 1 in American Heiresses
She didn't cross the Atlantic to fall in love. She came to expose a duke.
Diana Wakefield is not going to marry a stranger sight unseen — not even a duke. When her father arranges her match with Gabriel Rayborne, the Duke of Ashford, she does what any sensible, stubborn American heiress would do: she disguises herself as a governess and infiltrates his household to judge his character for herself.
What she finds isn't the cold aristocrat London whispers about. Gabriel is a man carrying a title he never wanted, a past that won't release him, and a household quietly falling apart. He doesn't need a wife — he needs a miracle. He doesn't know she just walked through his front door under a false name.
As Diana gets closer to the truth — and to Gabriel — the deception that brought them together becomes the one thing that could destroy them. A love built on a lie has a short shelf life. And when it unravels, it will demand everything.
A sensual-clean Regency romance of disguise, slow-burn tension, and a duke who never saw her coming.
Perfect for fans of Lisa Kleypas, Julia Quinn, and Scarlett Scott.
