Publisher Description
A #1 New York Times bestselling author delivers a sexy and scandalous Regency romance about an adventurous woman and the mysterious son of a duke who finds his way into her life—perfect for Bridgerton fans.
Eliza Melrose has always cherished her independence. And when she and her family lived in the countryside, it was easy to slip out for a midnight ride, write articles for her father’s newspaper, and otherwise do as she pleased. But now that they’ve moved to the heart of fashionable London, her every move is scrutinized and judged. Worse yet, her father wants her to wed and take her proper place in society.
But Eliza wants nothing to do with marriage. And when the new Duke of Chester moves into his family’s long-abandoned home across the square, her journalistic instincts immediately kick in. Are the rumors true—did he really kill his family? Is he as rakish as everyone says? The more Eliza finds out, the more she wants to know. Because the duke is a fascinating study of contradictions—reclusive and arrogant, fiercely protective and deeply passionate. But those who dance too close to the fire often get burned. And as the undeniable flame between them ignites, the only question is: Who’s holding the match?
Sexy, scandalous and utterly unputdownable, this is the Regency novel you've been waiting for!
Customer Reviews
Fun read!!
What a charming read! I really liked Eliza, the heroine. She was a strong character set in a time where women were docile. She was opinionated, loyal and honorable. She stuck her neck out for others and that made me like her even more.
Johnny, the Hero, was mysterious with a darker edge to him. He becomes obsessed with Eliza that made for an exciting read since she is betrothed to another. We learn his true story at the end and I can say that I love how everything came together.
This is a setting with a large group of side characters that I enjoyed and will want to read again in the next book of the series.
Charming read
I am new to historical romances, so I was excited to read one written by one of my favorites authors. I enjoyed reading One Night with the Duke by Jodi Ellen Malpas. It was a fun and charming read. Eliza was feisty, smart, and determined. The last thing she wanted was a husband, but she also loves her family. When she meets Johnny, she finds him intriguing. He was aloof and full of secrets, but their connection was strong. The chemistry between them is undeniable. Their journey was slow burning, steamy and I loved their interactions. I enjoyed reading this story and am very excited to see what comes next.
Happy reading!
Okay…
Author should stay away from historical or time period books. This is an okay book at best. I’ve read almost all of her books and they’re all good but this one. The author should stick to what she’s good at.
