A fun, witty Christmas featuring a rakish Duke and an aspiring authoress. Dive into historically accurate Regency traditions while enjoying an entirely historically inaccurate love affair.
Carlisle has been living a selfish, profligate life as the youngest Duke in London, and he has been enjoying every moment. Until his stern mother reminds him that he is engaged to be wed... to a woman he has never met.
Determined to find out if he really likes his bride-to-be, he crashes her family's Christmas celebrations at their country estate. Disguised as a poor relation of the family, he has cast off his usual ducal trappings in the spirit of Henry VIII wooing one of his brides incognito.
But it's not his betrothed who captures the disguised Duke's attention. Rather, each celebration brings him closer and closer to his fiance's companion, Miss Stafford. She has no family or financial means to speak of, but she does have a quick wit, and a marvelous pair of gray eyes...
Confusion and emotional outbursts ensue, including a man mistaken for a grouse, a stolen notebook, an elopement, and more than one conveniently revealed secret identity.
It will take a miracle to bring the Duke and Miss Stafford together in the end... but Christmas is all about miracles. And if none are forthcoming, sometimes you must make your own.
12 Days of the Duke's Disguise is a playful regency romance with witty banter, longing glances, and a close look at Regency Christmas traditions. Perfect for a laugh and immersing yourself in Regency England for an evening or two.
