Publisher Description

A heartwarming romp between a socially awkward duke and the social butterfly who pines for him, from a New York Times and USA Today bestselling author:


The Duke of Azureford isn’t the arrogant, aloof lord his peers perceive him to be. Yes, he’s awkward, but he has a plan to fix it. In order to woo a respectable lady, he must learn how to flirt. The completely inappropriate girl next door would make a perfect instructor, but a terrible duchess. So why can’t he walk away?


Incorrigible hoyden Miss Carole Quincy likes fast carriages, carom billiards, and the beautiful, buttoned-up Duke of Azureford. She’d be delighted to help him out of his shell and into her arms. Who cares if they’re just pretending to flirt? The heady, breath-taking, soul-consuming feeling inside her runaway heart surely can’t be love


The 12 Dukes of Christmas is a series of heartwarming Regency romps nestled in a picturesque snow-covered village. After all, nothing heats up a winter night quite like finding oneself in the arms of a duke!

Determined to be happy

Here is another great Christmas read in this series. It can be read as a stand alone, as characters from other books in the series are extras in this one and don’t alter the direction of the story.
What we have in this story is a shy, but hard working Duke (Azureford), who meets an open and affectionate lady, Carole. Azureford goes to his summer house in the town of Christmas in order to force himself to overcome his shyness so that he has the courage to look for a wife. His plan is to build a billiards room where he can learn to be comfortable and talk to other people. He also needs to learn how to play billiards.
Carole volunteers to help him. Firstly to find her book of sketches which has accidentally found its way into the Duke’s library, and secondly because she can’t help but like him. She likes his dedication to his Parliamentary work, his odd humour and the way he takes her opinions and expertise seriously. She is the one to teach him to play.
Azureford starts a list of qualities he is looking for in a wife and adds to it after each meeting with Carole. Their relationship grows and then flounders quite heartbreakingly for the reader. Don’t worry though, there is a very satisfying HEA when both parties stretch their personal comfort zones.
