Moonlight and the Duke Handsome widower. Shy spinster. Will he be the one to give her a first kiss? Connor Fieldstone, the Duke of Lynton, renowned as a Silver Duke, has no intention of ever marrying again. One failed marriage is enough for him, but he readily admits his heathen children need to be brought under control, especially now that his dowager mother has invited a horde of eager debutantes, young diamonds of Society, to a house party at his Devon estate for the purpose of finding him a perfect match. Not going to happen. He merely wants a governess to mind his children. Unfortunately, his children have scared off the fourth one in as many months just as this party is about to start. What is he to do but turn to his bookish neighbor, Lady Eden Darrow, for help? Eden has adored Connor ever since she was a child and he rescued her from a tumble into his fishpond. Now, the handsome widower is a Silver Duke, one of those sinfully gorgeous, forty-ish bachelors with a dash of silver in their hair. They are looked upon by Society as Greek gods, completely unattainable because of their determination never to marry—or remarry, on Connor's part. When Connor pleads with her to help him out with his children in exchange for helping her find a suitable match, she accepts. What has she, a twenty-seven-year-old spinster who has never been kissed, to lose? What she does not expect is to suddenly become the belle of the party, drawing the avid attention of several potential suitors…and is it possible Connor is one of them? Will he be the one to give her a first kiss? She wants it to be a moonlight kiss. Is he willing to give her moonlight and more? Moonlight and the Duke is a lighthearted Regency historical romance, the second in the Silver Duke series. Enjoy the read as these heroes who seem to have it all find the one thing that has eluded them throughout their live ... love. |
Snowfall and the Duke Can ten kisses heal a wounded heart? Jonas Langford, Duke of Ramsdale, knows he is a beast and no one can possibly love him. He was the ton's most eligible and desired bachelor before the Napoleonic War left him horribly scarred and had him retreating to Langford Hall in the quiet Yorkshire village of Broadmoor to live out his life in solitude. That is, until one Miss Ailis Temple, the beautiful spinster he thinks of as Miss Temple of Virtue, tumbles off her horse in front of his home and dislocates her shoulder. What else is a duke to do with a snowstorm approaching but take her in and tend to her wounds? She came to him seeking charity contributions for the local vicarage, however he strikes a bargain with her. She is to give him ten kisses, a hundred pounds a kiss, he says, never believing she will accept his terms. But she does, and Jonas realizes his life may never be the same again. Although Ailis is the one with the injured shoulder, is it possible he is the one who will be healed by her love? Ten kisses, this is the bargain Ailis Temple, a beautiful spinster who has never dipped a toe out of line, strikes with the dangerously daunting Duke of Ramsdale in exchange for his charity donation. Dear heaven, what has she done? The duke is big and muscled, built like a warrior, and never smiles. But he has the sinful look of a man who knows how to kiss, and she, having never been kissed, is not about to pass up the opportunity. However, neither of them expected her to fall off her horse and be injured in front of his home, nor did they plan on the impending snowstorm to trap her with him for days. Will their ten kisses lead to her ruin? Or open their hearts to love? The Silver Dukes is a charming Regency historical romance series where you'll find heroes with a dash of silver in their hair and heroines who are spinsters believed to be firmly on the shelf.
