Publisher Description
A delightfully improper romp between a buttoned-up blacksmith and a spinster who loves racy novels, from a New York Times bestselling author:
Meg Church adores two things: life in a village of perennial Yuletide, and the freedoms of being a spinster with no reputation to protect. Oh, very well, three things: She’s harbored a secret tendre for Christmas curmudgeon Lucien le Duc since the moment she first glimpsed him. But the sexy blacksmith won’t give her the time of day, much less a night of torrid passion.
Ever since Lucien le Duc was forced to flee his beloved France during the revolution, his all-consuming goal has been to recover not only his lost land and fortune, but also his rightful place among the French aristocracy. He would never be distracted by an English dairy maid’s sultry glances… or her soul-consuming kisses… or the temptation to turn one night into forever…
The 12 Dukes of Christmas is a series of heartwarming Regency romps nestled in a picturesque snow-covered village. Twelve delightful romances… and plenty of delicious dukes!

Customer Reviews
Lucien le Duc
The last of the le Duc siblings gets their HEA ending. Lucien and Meg are an ill-matched pair; by birth, morals (she’s an alley cat/he’s chaste) and country of choice. However both are family oriented and strongly attracted to each other but Meg has a secret which can split them apart before they have even begun.
Whilst I know the turgid passages from the book Meg was reading were meant in fun, they didn’t appeal to me and distracted me from the story. Have to say this was my least favourite of the series to date.
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book from the author and NetGalley. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
