Publisher Description
Death is just the beginning in this dark, chilling Gothic Regency Romance...
After the death of her beloved guardian, Miss Felicity Fields is left adrift, her future uncertain. Grief-stricken, she launches a plan to use her knowledge of alchemy to build a Philosopher's Stone, and bring back to life the woman who was like a mother to her. The last thing this blunt bluestocking needs is the return of Nicholas Harding, the Duke of Wycliffe and rightful owner of her home on the wild coast of Cornwall. He stirs an unexpected passion within her, and Felicity has had enough change in her life.
When they were children, Nicholas never understood his aunt's brilliant but unemotional ward, or her many strange scientific studies. He ought to take her back to London, so she can make a proper society match--except he can't stop thinking about her. But with the line between life and death blurred by Felicity's macabre experiments, can he convince her that she's no longer alone, and her proper place is by his side?
"Erica Monroe's voice is a breath of fresh airfor the historical romance genre. The Determined Duchess is wildly inventive, with a romance you will root for!" -Jess Michaels, USA Today Bestselling Author

A definite must read .
This is a slightly out of the ordinary gothic romance .
Felicity is the sort of woman who nowadays would be signed into a secure unit or at the very least undergoing psychiatric treatment. But she’s awesome.
Nicholas has so much patience and love for her that he deals with it all himself , what a guy.
This was an interesting book and had me thoroughly hooked though I don’t know if I was just waiting to see if a zombie appeared, or if I wanted to see a HEA , I’d have been happy with both .
I’ve given it 4 stars because of the excellent writing and genuinely lovely romance of kids to adults finding each other , but about the attempting resurrection, still not sure .
Have a read you may just find you enjoy it as much as I did .
I received an advanced copy of this book and chose to submit a review.
