The Duke's Defiant Debutante

Lady Selina Balfour would make the perfect duchess. But the Duke of Caversham is far from her idea of the perfect husband. Malcolm Locke is everything Selina hates about powerful men – reckless, arrogant, and all too aware of his own chiselled jaw. Which makes it all the more important that Selina’s candidate beats his in the upcoming election. Someone needs to teach the duke to behave. The first lesson? Kissing a woman until her knees go weak isn’t enough to make her give up her ideals. Everyone knows that Malcolm is in dire need of a respectable duchess, an heir, and an end to his rivalry with Selina. But why is he so determined to pursue the one woman who’ll never have him? Selina’s not sure she wants to know the answer. Her wounded heart is more than she can risk. But she’ll happily take on the duke in the political arena, if a war is what he wants. There’s only one possible outcome. Defeat for one. Victory for the other. Unless there’s a sweet surrender in store for them both…

No Dukes Need Apply

A reckless duke meets his match in a determined young woman – and throws her future into jeopardy with one stolen kiss. Miss Anna Hawkins, the daughter of a poor country doctor, knows the mysterious stranger who kissed her at the ball cannot really be the Duke of Beaumont. Dukes are virtuous and noble, and this man is arrogant, impudent… and dangerously seductive. When she discovers he is telling the truth, it only makes matters worse. Anna has more important problems than romance – a handsome duke is the last thing she needs. Beaumont cannot forget Anna Hawkins. It’s not only her sharp mind and delicate features. It’s not only the flame-red hair he longs to caress. It’s not even that she is the only woman in England to say no to a duke. Anna is not afraid to chastise Beaumont for his lack of virtue, and he has never wanted anyone more. Before long, he has only one desire: to make her his duchess. But it takes more than a dukedom to win a woman’s heart. This is the second book in the series Scandals of Scarcliffe Hall. You do not have to read the first book to enjoy this one! However, there are some connections between the books which will reward readers of the whole series.

The Duke's Hidden Desire

Andrew McGregor

This volume examines representations of travel ideals in contemporary international cinema. It explores the link between filmed spaces and real locations, as well as the fantasy and exoticism that arise through an idealisation of the locations and their transformational impact on the protagonists who travel there.

When Mary foresees a tragic end to the duke’s engagement, she resolves to help her friend Eleanor find happiness. What she fails to predict is that she may lose her own heart in the process… This is a sweet and clean Regency romance novella with a supernatural twist!
