Only A Duke Would Dare is Here!
Over $500 in prizes and giveaways!
The long-awaited second book in my Seductive Scoundrels Series releases October 17, 2017. I’m so excited to share my 24th book with you. I’ve been eagerly anticipating the Duke of Sutcliffe’s story since I introduced him in A DIAMOND FOR A DUKE. I think you’ll find him and Theadosia well-matched, and you’ll find an unexpected twist or two as you read their heart-warming story.
“Delightful, dazzling, and oh-so delicious.” ~Cheryl Bolen, NYT Bestselling Author
Faced with an impossible choice, could you devastate someone you love?
Caution: This book contains a philandering hero with a heart of gold, a fearless heroine adamant she’ll decide her own destiny, a passel of roguish dukes and the daring damsels determined not to be seduced by them, and unforeseen twists that will keep you turning page after page.
Marriage—an unpleasant obligation
A troublesome addendum to his father’s will requires Victor, Duke of Sutcliffe to marry before his twenty-seventh birthday. That doesn’t mean he intends to alter his pleasure-seeking lifestyle. Mere weeks before he must wed, he ventures home, intent on finding the most biddable, forgettable miss in all of Essex. Except the first woman he encounters stirs far more than his interest, and Theadosia Brentwood is anything but unremarkable or dowdy.
Marriage—an impossible choice
Against her better judgement, and despite her father promising her hand to a man she detests, Theadosia clandestinely meets with Victor. Though she’s far beneath his station and aware he must marry soon, she can’t deny her growing fascination. When Victor unexpectedly proposes, Thea must make an unbearable decision—refuse to marry her father’s pick and elope with Victor, who wouldn’t wed at all except to save his fortune. If she does, her betrothed will reveal a scandalous secret, sending her father to prison and rendering her sister and mother homeless.
Read this page-turning book for an emotional, entertaining, and romantic Regency England adventure you won’t want to put down.

“A pleasure to see you again, Miss Thea.”
A charming smile flashed across his grace’s noble countenance as he bent into a wobbly gallant’s bow—dropping the whisky bottle and nearly falling onto his face for his efforts. He chuckled at his own clumsiness.
She dropped the basket and rushed forward to brace him with one hand on his broad—very broad—shoulder and the other on his solid chest. Being a prudent miss, she dismissed the electric jolt sluicing up both arms. This was not the time for missish shyness or false pretenses of demureness.
Imagine the scandal if his grace were found insensate, reeking of whisky, atop his father’s grave? This was not the homecoming she’d imagined for him over the years.
“Do have a care, sir, or you will crack your skull.” Supporting his great weight, for his form wasn’t that of simpering dandy, but a man accustomed to physical exertion, she slanted him a sideways glance. “I believe you’ve over-indulged.”
A great deal, truth to tell.
“How ever will you manage your way home to Ridgewood Court?”
“The same way I came to be here in this dreary place.” Giving her a boyish sideways grin, he waggled his fingers in the general direction of the lane. “I shall walk, fair maiden.”
“I think not. ’Tis a good mile, and you’re in no condition to make the hike.”
“Do you fret for me, Thea?” His rich voice had gone all low and raspy.
He lowered his head and pressed his nose into her neck as he wrapped his arms around her and pulled her flush with his body.
Shouldn’t she be offended or afraid?
Yet she wasn’t either.
“Mmm, you smell good. Like sunshine and honeysuckle.”
He smelled of strong spirits, horse, and sandalwood. And something else she couldn’t quite identify. She couldn’t very well lean in and sniff to determine what the scent was, as he’d boldly ventured to do.
His grace inhaled a deep breath, another unnerving sound she couldn’t identify reverberating in his throat. “Intoxicating,” he rumbled against her neck, his lips tickling the sensitive flesh.
Trying—unsuccessfully—to ignore the heady pleasure of being near him, Theadosia tilted her head away whilst bracing her hands against the wall that was his chest.
“You are the one who’s intoxicated and don’t know what you’re saying.”
Why must she sound breathless?
The exertion of holding him upright. That must be it.
“Your Grace.” She gave that unyielding wall a shove. “You must release me before someone sees us.”
Not much chance of that with evening’s mantle descending, but it was foolish to tempt Providence.
“I’m not so foxed that I don’t know what to do with a beautiful woman in my arms.”
