Dukes and Debutantes

Misadventures with the Duke

“A duke by any other name! Touted as honorable and a sterling example for all young bucks to emulate, this author has it on the highest authority that a certain duke is nothing but a libertine! Grab your weekly feature to keep abreast with the duke of disgrace!”

Christopher Worth, the Duke of Carlyle, has a carefully cultivated reputation of ‘respectability,’ but he possesses a dark, lustful heart that he reins in rather well. Except someone is out to reveal him as a wicked rogue in tongue-in-cheek articles written about him by a notorious gossip columnist. Determined to unmask this meddler in his life, he finds his heart shockingly captivated by Miss Pippa Cavanaugh.

The hopes of marriage or the charming attractiveness of the Duke of Carlyle didn’t drive Pippa to pursue the most elusive catch of the season; she was out to avenge her dear friend whose heart had been callously injured. Pippa desires to reveal to society that their perfect duke is a wicked, unprincipled seducer. The last thing she expects is for the dratted man to turn the tables on her, engaging her in a dance of wits, soul-stealing kisses, and unexpected, sensual adventures. Soon, she must decide if he is her path to ruin or her promise of a happy ending.

Duke in Shining Armor

Far from a helpless maiden, Lady Catherine Davenport had her wits and a trusty derringer pistol at her disposal. As she journeyed to Switzerland to attend school, she did not plan to play the damsel in distress. Yet, even the most independent lady could use a bit of unexpected assistance when faced with the threat of highwaymen.

Enter Lord James Hastings, Duke of Pembroke, a man of wealth often maligned as a rogue or a rake. The truth, however, lay far from these labels – he was an industrious man of leisure, delighting in worldly pleasures as any man of his station might. Marriage was the last thing on his agenda until he crossed paths with the fiercely independent and intellectual Lady Davenport.

He becomes her savior in a turn of fate, offering her protection under the most extraordinary circumstances. He was able to keep Catherine safe from the highwaymen, but the real question remains: could he protect her from the danger he himself posed?

As their pretend marriage morphs into nights of fiery passion, Evie grapples with her growing feelings, fearing she’s diving headlong into a love that promises only heartbreak.
