Romance: Historical Romance: Winning The Duke’S Heart (British Duke Regency Romance) (Victorian Aristocrat Historical Romance)

When a mysterious book of scandalous origin falls into the hands of naive new bride Emily, it sets off a misunderstanding of epic proportions when her new husband, the Duke of Wellington, discovers her with it. Bookish, hopelessly romantic young bride Emily, youngest daughter of a British Earl, fell for her intended, the Duke of Wellington, months before ever meeting him in the flesh. Hopeless victim of a crush that bloomed at the mere sight of his portrait, she dreams of wedded bliss with the mysterious Duke. Her hopes are crushed when the proud, accomplished Duke barely speaks to her at her wedding, and avoids her for days afterward. Desperate to win his approval, she conspires with her maidservant Annie to try to determine the source of his unease with her. But as she tries to penetrate his secrets for the sake of her marriage, a hilarious misunderstanding develops. A mysterious book by one of France's most infamous authors has fallen into the unwitting Emily's hands, and she doesn't read French. But her new husband does, and draws all the wrong conclusions when he catches her with it. The young couple is about to get an object lesson in the importance of communication--courtesy of the Marquis de Sade! AUTHOR'S NOTE: This is a stand-alone story with an HEA, so no cliff-hangers! Story contains mature themes and language, and is intended for 18+ readers only.
