As soon as Lady Mary Roberts becomes 18 years old, she is presented with an unpleasant surprise. Her father, through his will, dictates that she marries a man that she has never met. Otherwise, she risks losing her estate and her beloved house. Mary is even more discouraged by the potential of a forced marriage since her sister, Charlotte, is married to a despicable man that abuses her. Duke Edmund Smith, a respectable young businessman, and business partner of Mary's father, is his chosen one. When Mary and Edmund meet, there is an instant dislike. He seems arrogant, she seems troublesome. But is a marriage to the Duke something to dismiss? Will Mary be able to look behind the aloof behaviour of the Duke and see the real man? And will the Duke be able to leave everything behind him in search for a true love? "Loving a Noble Gentleman" is a historical romance novel of approximately 80,000 words.
