The Reluctant Duke (Love's Pride Book 1) (2015) - Plot & Excerpts
She had spent the day on pins and needles. Several times she had gathered her things and prepared to leave, only to change her mind and slink back to her room. The summons had shocked her and made her heart race with the thought of seeing him. She knew she would never be happy again.

Taking a deep breath, she left her room and made her way to the parlor. Knocking softly, she entered and was surprised to find Aunt Celeste sitting on the settee, her back straight as an ironing board and her eyes as guarded as an Indian Cobra.

He stood there in full glory, dressed in his typical tight black coat, a crisp cravat about his neck.
