The Unexpected Duke

Escape to 1830s England, where a solider turned duke and a Cinderella’s worlds are about to collide!

A duke

In sudden need of a duchess!

A Soldiers to Heirs story: When Lieutenant Hartley returns home it’s to become—reluctantly, he might add—the new Duke of Fenniston. If he’s to thrive in the ton, he must call on the help of widow Claire Hambledon, sister of the previous Duchess, to guide him in Society and help him to find a wife!

Penniless, and with a young son, Claire is well aware that she’s totally unsuitable for a duke. But she’s also completely unable to ignore the ripples of desire she feels every time she’s near dashing Hart… Or the temptation to start a forbidden affair!

About the author

Long before embarking on romantic adventures of her own, Julia Justiss read about them, transporting herself to such favourite venues as ancient Egypt, World War II submarine patrols, the Old South and, of course, Regency England. Soon she was keeping notebooks for jotting down story ideas. When not writing or traveling, she enjoys watching movies, reading and puttering about in the garden trying to kill off more weeds than flowers.
