The Duchess of Defiance
Miss Eleanor Dashcombe has a problem.
Several, in fact.
Her inheritance is under threat, her reputation is being quietly dismantled, and someone powerful appears determined to ruin her life. Fortunately, Eleanor possesses both intelligence and stubbornness in equal measure and she has no intention of surrendering either.
What she does not expect… is a duke.
Julian Ashcroft, Duke of Harrowmere, moves easily through the glittering world that has begun to turn against her. He is charming, dangerously perceptive, and entirely too tempting for a man she ought not trust. Yet when he offers his assistance, Eleanor finds herself accepting and soon discovering that proximity to a duke can be far more perilous than any scandal.
Because Julian does not merely admire her courage.
He desires her.
And once a duke decides he wants something… he rarely retreats.
As intrigue deepens and society watches closely, Eleanor and Julian must decide whether risking their hearts and their futures is worth the undeniable fire between them.
Duke falls first • Forbidden attraction • Strong heroine • High society scandal • Partners against the world
