She's in no position to turn down a duke. They both know it. That doesn't mean the game is over... Selene's mother is deathly ill, and there's little a poor housemaid can do. Working in her cousin's house, grateful for the roof over her head, Selene doesn't dream anymore of a titled marriage. Only a little of falling in love. Nicholas Hayden, the Duke of Talbourne, learned early in life never to show what he wanted. But sad experience, and silence, won't help him conquer his passion for the housemaid he has rescued—a passion that threatens everything he has built for his life. A mother's scheme with a duke as cold as the devil could transform Selene from a housemaid to a duchess in a matter of days. But Selene dares to want a marriage that isn't just for show. If she's going to make a deal with this devil, she has demands of her own. What a Duchess Does is a historical regency romance novel with steamy moments and sweet ones, of about 450 pages. It includes a duke determined to have his way and a duchess determined to make a difference. And as always, a Happily Ever After. What a Duchess Does is a standalone book! But if you enjoyed it, follow it with Crown of Hearts, or get ready for a related story in The Caped Countess in July 2021!
