Irrepressible. Incorrigible. The Duke brothers have come a long way from the orphanage they grew up in–but they haven’t managed to break into the cream of London society yet. Will Thomas, Robert, John, Henry and Edward manage to escape the shackles of their poverty-ridden past? Or will the women they meet along the way remind them that money isn’t everything?
Thomas Duke has been determined since childhood. Determined to leave behind every trace of his harsh upbringing, and determined to provide for him and his brothers through sheer nerve and focused business acumen. He has no time for pleasure, and still less time for memories… even the few pleasant memories of childhood, and the friends he had made.
No time for friends now. No time for wondering why he feels as if something’s missing.
No, time, that is, until he sees Miss Dorothea Radcliffe for the first time in years. Then, he has all the time in the world.
Dorothea Radcliffe isn’t used to good luck. Ever since her parents lost their fortune in a rash bout of speculation, she has been forced to become familiar with both poverty and obscurity–not to mention the brutal indignities of working as a companion to Lady Beatrice, one of the most unpleasant women in England. Only her wealthy friend Charlotte Pembroke still gives her a taste of an elegant life–even if she can’t help but remind Dorothea of everything she’s lost.
Charlotte’s latest gift is astonishing. A scarlet gown by the famed modiste Anne Fletcher is something a companion could never wear, even at a ball. But left to her own devices with the gown, well–who could blame her for putting it on?
And when her childhood friend Thomas Duke sees her in the gown… could anyone really predict what would happen next?
Lose yourself in this deliciously sensual slice of Regency escapism by Felicia Greene, the queen of quick-read romance novellas. With tortured dukes, teasing heroines and attraction that defies all decorum, these brief but beautiful tales will make any spare hour fly by!
This book is the first standalone in the Brothers Duke series. If you like misadventures, forbidden attraction and love that defies all odds, you'll love these quick, steamy Regency reads!
