A hot-headed American heiress… After three broken engagements, Miss Athena Dogwood is ready to give up on finding love. Until a secret letter hidden away by her great-grandmother leads her across the Atlantic and onto the doorstep of the ill-tempered (albeit very handsome) Duke of Blackburn. A cold-hearted duke... Ambrose gave up on love a long time ago. A widower with a young daughter to raise, he needs a governess more than he needs a wife. And he certainly doesn’t need an impertinent American heiress. Especially one who speaks like a sailor, looks like an angel, and stirs desires inside of him best left alone. A smoldering passion ready to ignite... But Athena knows beneath Ambrose’s icy exterior is a man who wants to love again, and she’s willing to do whatever it takes to prove it. Even if that means risking everything, including her own heart… Get ready for an enthralling battle of wits in this British versus American romance! The Spring Duke is the second novella in the best-selling A Duke for All Seasons quartet.
