Seduction of a Duke indie published

Hi all –

Last month I re-released The Education of Mrs. Brimley. It’s the same book that Berkley released back in 2007 but with a new cover and blurb.

This month I’m re-releasing Seduction of a Duke. This is basically the same book that Berkley released back in 2009 but I did make some changes–not to the story, but to the editing. I couldn’t believe that some of the words in that original release

Quotes by Donna MacMeans (?)

“William: My brother has an appreciation of art, so I imagine the woman he chooses must be beautiful beyond the pale. Once he outgrows his current predilection with painting and accepts his family responsibilities, he'll need a wife who can move throughout society. She must have proper carriage and be a witty conversationalist. She should have excellent bloodlines as well, in the event of offspring.
Emma: With the possible exception of a witty conversationalist, I believe you've described all the attributes of a racehorse.”
― Donna MacMeans, The Education of Mrs. Brimley

“Nicholas: I know you, brother. You've been threatened with matrimonial pursuits before. Why are you really here?
William: I received an invitation.
Nicholas: Not from me you didn't.
William: Of course not from you, brother. Parliament would go up in flames before I receive a social invitation from you. ”
― Donna MacMeans, The Education of Mrs. Brimley

“Emma: You can demand that Pettibone retain my services, but you cannot make similar demands of the parents of the students. They will not entrust the education of their daughters to a woman who has removed her clothing for an artist, no matter how exalted that artist may be. Pettibone would become a school without students. No that avenue is closed to me now.
Nicholas: Women disrobe for men other than their husbands every day.
Emma: But they are not on exhibition in the Royal Academy.
Nicholas: what of extenuating circumstances?
Emma: You make no sense”
