It seems that everything the tall and graceless Lady Rosaleigh Ayres touches turns to disaster. But is it really all her fault? One of London's premier matchmakers sees something beyond the teasing of the mean girls of the Ton and decides that the ugly duckling will turn into a beautiful swan worthy of a Duke if only she believed in herself. A twist of fate makes Simon Quinn the new Duke of Witherin and his elevated status makes him a target of many marriage-minded young women. But can he find someone who will love him for the man he is, not for the title he holds? Could it be as easy as a roll of the dice?
Author
USA Today bestselling author Elizabeth Ellen Carter is an award-winning historical romance writer who pens richly detailed historical romantic adventures. A former newspaper journalist, Carter ran an award-winning PR agency for 12 years. She lives in Australia. On the publication of her debut novel in 2013, Carter was heralded by critics as ‘a writer worth keeping an eye on’ with a style reminiscent of classic suspense novelist Daphne du Maurier. This impression has been borne out in her subsequent work. Her full-length novels frequently feature psychologically complex relations between the central characters and often delve into dark themes. Nonetheless, she also occasionally turns her hand to sweet romance (always with a touch of adventure) suitable for younger readers as well as older fans looking for a change of pace. Elizabeth Ellen Carter’s full-length titles and several novellas have been published by Dragonblade Publishing since 2017. She also regularly contributes to various multi-author anthologies and is a member of The Bluestocking Belles group of Regency romance authors.
