Huzzah! Celeste Bradley finally has a new book out and though the wait has been long, Desperately Seeking a Duke looks so good we forgive her! Not only that, the Duke Next Door and The Duke Most Wanted are out in quick succession so we’ll be triply spoiled. For fans of Julia Quinn. The only way for vicar’s daughter Phoebe Millbury to inherit a family fortune is to find herself a duke just as her late grandfather demanded in his will. But Phoebe, who’s still trying to make good after a romantic scandal, also has her two cousins to contend with. They’re all competing for the same money, maybe even the same men until Phoebe meets her match in the terribly handsome and charming Rafe Marbrook.
When she receives a marriage proposal from the Marquis of Brookhaven, Phoebe is thrilled to learn that Rafe is headed for dukedom and accepts his offer. There’s only one problem: It’s from Rafe’s older, less captivating brother, Calder. Now Phoebe finds herself on the verge of yet another scandal as she faces a desperate choice: Marry Calder for his money or follow her own heart? Each way can only lead to trouble.
Trouble awaits: The kitchens were in the cellar, as was Rafe's personal favourite, the larder. Since his midnight craving called for savoury, he easily avoided the sturdy worktable in the middle of the room and bent to feel along the lowest shelves for something of a ham or roast nature. He was really more in the mood for big, juicy slices of - Thigh. Smooth… rounded… warm… lush…
"Eek." It was a small protest, hardly more than a whisper.
"Ah!" He snatched his hand back and straightened and smacked the back of his head into the stone shelf above with great force. "Ow!" He staggered backward with one hand to his skull. |
