Duchess of Earl

This is not a Regency. But what if you woke after a traumatic experience and believed you were in England back in the year 1813?

A young woman awakens after a terrible car wreck, convinced she's named Georgette Heyer and is betrothed to a lesser British baron of 200 years ago. But instead of a baron, she encounters a man named Earl… and Dusty Earl's low-key 2013 Tennessee farm isn't anywhere near England, nor anything like it.

Lonely and handsome, Dusty wants to help the delusional woman he calls Duchess, but she sees the frightening world around her through a lens that's two centuries old. Surely they can develop a truce, but can that become a relationship? And how long will she believe she's living in Regency times?

Meanwhile, Dusty's desperate enemy wants to use the confused, attractive Duchess for his own purposes — and Dathan always fights dirty. How far will Verdeville's bad boy go to get what he wants?

An affectionate wink at Regency romances and their readers, Duchess of Earl is a delightful hybrid of contemporary romance, suspense, and action, with a few generous helpings of comedy.
