Isadora's story - a new release from bestselling humorous historical romance author DG Rampton. 🎩 a taciturn bodyguard who takes his job (and his scowling) very seriously 👒 a beauty with a talent for finding trouble in exotic locations 🏔️ a trek to the Kingdom of Sikkim, full of breathtaking vistas, steep climbs, and disagreements with a stubborn mule ⛵ a sea-voyage from India to England that would be utterly unforgettable, if one did not have amnesia In the 2nd instalment of the Taming of the Dukes series, London's ballrooms are left behind for a sweeping adventure across the high seas. Beautiful, clever, and rich enough to cause even the most staid gentleman to consider a career in heiress-hunting, Miss Isadora Jones was the reigning belle of London society, until a spurned suitor’s lies turned her from "Incomparable" to "Ineligible" overnight. With her reputation hanging by a thread and the ton whispering behind their fans, Isadora's parents pack her off to visit her sister in India – much to her delight! However, freedom and adventure come with a catch...a rather large, annoyingly attractive one. After stumbling upon an international 'incident' within days of her arrival in Calcutta, Isadora finds herself under the constant, watchful eye of an aloof war hero who always seems to be on hand to extract her from the various calamities that come her way with regrettable frequency. During the course of a trek to the foothills of the Himalayas and a perilous voyage home, Isadora discovers that her greatest challenge isn't a stalking tiger, a storm at sea, or an Ottoman slave trader—it’s the infuriating man tasked with keeping her safe. Why readers will love ISADORA "Bridgerton Without the Sex": all the chemistry and romance of the Regency and late-Georgian eras, kept clean, humorous, and heartwarming. Grumpy/Sunshine, Fake Marriage, Beauty and the Beast, Forced Proximity, Bodyguard Tropes: sparks fly as the irrepressible Isadora chips away at the cool exterior of her protector. Global Adventure: A lush, atmospheric change of scenery that takes the "parlour romance" into wilder frontiers.
