The Dissident Duke

Mr. Graham Bernard has been feeding his wanderlust across the wild lands of North America, leaving his widowed mother and twin sister behind in Boston. He's tried his hand in the lumber business and fur trading, but none of it flares a passion within him. When he learns of the death of his estranged grandfather—and his parents' secret lineage—his world tilts. As the new Duke of Shackerley, he must come to terms with a life far from the familiar but rugged lands of America and Canada.

Miss Juliet Harbett, the shy daughter of a baronet, is determined to keep her dreams within reach. Her mother has different ideas. She wants to use Juliet's beauty to improve the family's social status and marry a man with a title. When a duke shows interest, Juliet isn't surprised to see her mother swoon. Literally. The handsome young man is forced to catch the older woman, thereby instigating an introduction.

Graham isn't sure what is missing in his life until he meets the delightful and breathtaking Miss Harbett. He's determined to win her affection. She's determined to remain a respectable nobody. Fate is determined to bring them together.
