A girl called Hope... Returned to England after several years, the eccentric young Duke of Oatland has many reasons to seek seclusion. But the mud-covered girl at his front door is like a breath of fresh air. She doesn't care who he is. She stands up to him, tells him off, and laughs with him, until he begins to see the beauty of the English summer. When Cousin Hadrian arrives, uninvited, he tries to bring the duke out of his self-imposed shell. But is Hadrian really looking after him? Or is his purpose, as Hope suspects, more sinister? (Note: This story was first published as part of the Anthology titled Get Your Duke On in August 2022)
Author

Mary Lancaster is a USA Today bestselling author of historical fiction and historical romance. She lives in Scotland with her husband, one of three grown-up kids, and a small dog with a big personality. Her first literary love was historical fiction, a genre which she relishes mixing up with romance and adventure in her own writing. Several of her novels feature actual historical characters as diverse as Hungarian revolutionaries, medieval English outlaws, and a family of eternally rebellious royal Scots. To say nothing of Vlad the Impaler. Her most recent books are light fun Regency romances, with occasional forays into Victorian mystery.
