A Duke sworn never to love again, a Lady trapped by one past mistake, a Christmas Ball, a blackmailing cad, an impossible choice, a last minute reprieve, a miraculous love. \\\\\ FREE ON KINDLE UNLIMITED \\\\\ Lady Isabelle Rutherford fears the house party and Christmas Ball that her brother is holding at Kilmerstan Castle - it’s not that she does not wish to socialise, and eventually marry, but more that she risks scandal and ruination if she meets anyone who saw her in the wrong place, the one and only time that she made a foolish mistake. Lyon Hartley, Duke of Dangerfield, has a rake’s reputation, and a history of duelling. But all of that is simply his way of dealing with the pain of betrayal. He has sworn never to care for a woman again. Leaving London for a few weeks to attend a Christmas Ball seems as good a way as any to amuse himself. But when they meet, neither is what the other expects, and attraction flares - an attraction that may never be acted on, as Lady Isabelle’s worst fears are realised. Can Lady Isabelle avoid scandal, or will her ruination bring ruin to her sister as well? Will the Duke discover the truth of her situation in time to save her? Or will their love be lost before it begins, when Lady Isabelle is forced to wed another? Lovers of Regency Romance are RAVING about this series ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Just by the title I was enchanted .

She had made being proprietously perfect her life's mission, but now, it is starting to feel dull - and she quietly longs for adventure, but doubts she will ever dare to seize it. Morris Woodfield, the Duke of Oakthorpe, has always rebelled against the strictures of society - enough to be known as a rogue, but never quite enough to be ostracised. He is in Bath to visit his aunt, and escape the pressures of his title, and his mother’s obsessive attempts to find him a wife, for a while. When the Duke meets Lady Eugenia, that Autumn in Bath, he initially thinks she is dull - until he realises that there is far more to her than that perfectly presented surface - so he sets out to amuse himself by discovering exactly what hides under it. By the end of their time in Bath, they are both changed, with secrets revealed, and dares given and met, without either ever speaking of the feelings that have grown between them. Will they each leave Bath, and leave love behind, or will they admit their true feelings for each other, before it is too late? Read the other books in this series from Arietta!
