With a lush pink cover and featuring her trademark wit and sass, Eloisa James presents her latest Desperate Duchess. There is not a simpering miss in sight! Wedding bells celebrating the arranged marriage between the lovely Duchess of Beaumont and her staid, imperturbable duke had scarcely fallen silent when a shocking discovery sent Jemma running from the ducal mansion. For the next nine years she cavorted abroad, creating one delicious scandal after another, if one believed the rumours.
Elijah, Duke of Beaumont, did believe those rumours but the handsome duke needs an heir, so he summons his seductive wife home. Jemma laughs at Elijah’s cool eyes and icy heart but to her secret shock, she doesn’t share his feelings. In fact, she wants the impossible: her husband’s heart at her feet. But what manner of seduction will make a man fall desperately in love with his own wife?
A taste: No one dressed to please a husband. At least, not in the Duchess of Beaumont’s circle of acquaintances. One dressed - to be frank - to dazzle and amaze one’s female friends. Or, if one were so inclined, to invite a seduction… to engage in an affaire. Husbands were just there, like coals in Newcastle and pigs in the sty.
Which made it all the harder for Jemma, the duchess in question, to decide what to wear to seduce her spouse. After all, Elijah had been her husband for years. True, they had lived apart for some time but now they’d agreed, in an alarmingly businesslike fashion, that after he returned from a fortnight spent at the Prime Minister’s house, they would… Would what?
Have a baby. Produce an heir, or at least do the motions that would produce one in nine months.
Look for the final book in this glorious series, A Duke of her Own featuring the dastardly Villiers in August.
An utter delight to read, in sequence the Desperate Duchesses are: Desperate Duchess, An Affair before Christmas, Duchess by Night, When the Duke Returns, This Duchess of Mine and A Duke of her Own in August. |
