They call him the Doomed
Duke.
Phineas Duncombe, ninth Duke
of Mayne, should not be the duke. After all, he had four—count them—four
older brothers! Phin never wanted the dukedom, and the suspicious circumstances
of the eighth duke’s death lead Phin to question the Countess of Longstowe. The
beautiful widow isn’t at all what Phin expected. He’s intrigued by her and
determined to seduce her. The countess is not interested in Phin romantically,
but when she comes to him with another request, he can’t deny it. A few days in
the country with Lady Longstowe reveal two truths to the new duke. One, he
cares for the countess much more than any other woman he’s ever known. Two,
Phin either has very bad luck or someone is trying to kill him.
They call her the Wanton
Widow.
Annabel was barely eighteen
when she was married to the elderly Earl of Longstowe. A harsh, sadistic man,
the earl’s death was not something Annabel mourned. Now in her mid-forties,
Annabel enjoys her widowhood and has no desire to ever be under a man’s thumb
again. Not even a handsome duke like Mayne, who is far too young for her
anyway. Annabel’s one desire is to find the daughter who was taken away from
her. For that she needs a man with power and status. She needs the Duke of
Mayne. When the two are thrust together, Annabel struggles to fight her
attraction to the charming Phin. She’s losing the battle.
But can she ever trust another man, especially with the one part of herself she’s
never given away—her heart?
