STRATAGEM FOR THE RESTORATION OF RESPECTABILITY TO THE DUKE OF STANHOPE:


Step 1: Find perfect wife

Step 2: Save reputation from ruin
Step 3: Do not, at any cost, fall in love with Selina Ravenscroft

Peter Kent, newly inherited Duke of Stanhope, has developed
quite the scandalous reputation - which must be overturned if he is to win the guardianship of his young half siblings.

For help he turns to Lady Selina Ravenscroft, society's most proper debutante (save one tiny secret...). She suggests courtship and marriage to a lady of unimpeachable character - which due to the aforementioned secret is
definitely not Selina herself.

But her matchmaking goes awry when the scorching chemistry between them proves impossible to resist. For the disreputable duke and his unpredictable matchmaker, falling in love might just be the ultimate scandal...

Praise for this book

"Utterly delicious and undeniably clever, Alexandra Vasti's Ne'er Duke Well was unputdownable. I'm absolutely certain that Regency romance fans everywhere will love this warm, wonderfully witty, and oh-so-sexy novel just as much as I did. What a spectacular debut!" - Amy Rose Bennett

"If it were socially acceptable for blurbs to be in all caps, I'd do it for Ne'er Duke Well and Alexandra Vasti. In fact, all caps doesn't seem strong enough to convey how much I loved this book. Vasti has quickly made her way to my list of top historical romance authors with the kind of writing that makes me scream and kick my feet in public places. Outrageously hot, tender, and brimming with wit, Vasti has secured herself as an auto-buy author in my book, one that I will stay up way too late reading and be glad for the lack of sleep come morning. This opposites attract historical romance brims with delicious restraint required of our lead characters in a society they end up defying that ends up exploding in exceptionally steamy moments. Vasti's story-telling is this season's incomparable, a title she'll hold for years to come with the care and craft she deftly applies to her incredible novels." - Mazey Eddings

"A witty, page-turner with two adorable leads whose funny banter and chemistry is off the charts! I didn't want their antics to end." - Virginia Heath

"Ne'er Duke Well by Alexandra Vasti is an irresistible delight from a remarkable new talent. Every page inspires a smile, laugh, or pause in reading while one hugs the book because it's just so lovely, witty, and benevolently clever. Vasti does really interesting things with genre tropes, making the historical romance fresh and exciting. I felt so enlivened after reading, I want to run around waving it at people, saying "read this now!" Vasti has quickly earned her place on my list of favourite writers." - India Holton
