The Duke's Ruin

A vicar's daughter with everything to lose. A notorious duke with nothing left to hide. A season that will change them forever.

London, 1792. When Elizabeth Hampden steps into society under the patronage of the powerful Aubrey family, she knows she must tread carefully. With no fortune, no title, and only her father's good name to recommend her, one misstep could cost her everything.

But the return of William Lynch, the scandal-ridden Duke of Westhart, upends her careful plans. Rumored to be the most handsome—and most dangerous—man in England, Westhart is the prize of the season. To the ton he is power and allure. To Elizabeth he is ruin waiting in the shadows.

From glittering ballrooms to the whispered intrigues of the White Horse Club, their fates entwine in ways neither can escape. One stolen night behind a mask ignites a perilous passion, forcing Elizabeth into a storm of desire, discipline, and devastating choices.

As society speculates, gossip rages, and duty collides with longing, Elizabeth must decide whether to fight the force of the duke's claim—or surrender to the fire that could consume them both.

Perfect for readers of Annabel Joseph, Zoe Blake, and Julia Quinn who crave Regency romance with a darker edge, The Duke's Ruin is a sweeping tale of scandal, obsession, and a love forged in defiance of every rule.
