Book excerpt: Can she convince the duke a woman has a brain? Lady Joanna Mabry has many flaws, one is her penchant for stealing books from her peers' homes. Since she returns them, usually to the same house, she feels it's a harmless flaw until she's almost caught by James Huntington, the Duke of Northwick. His outspoken views on a proper woman's education have left her bristling. So in this case, she's pleased to have taken his book on what is sure to be an antiquated view of the female species. James dismisses Lady Joanna's odd behavior until he discovers his book on "feminine education" is missing. Guessing she has it, he's highly amused since the cover concealed the real title, The Illustrated Pleasures of Seduction. He soon finds himself putting off his proposal to another woman as he attempts to trap Joanna into revealing her theft. He enjoys countering her energetic arguments for women's equal education, while he insinuates that what women should be most concerned with is the bedroom. Before long, the pictures in Northwick's book, his quiet hints, and his tantalizing touches begin to leave Joanna breathless. Worse, their debates bring her to a state of excitement she's known with no other. How can such a closed-minded man be so tempting? But with a spurned woman lurking in the background, Joanna must make the decision whether to let the duke wallow in a bed of his own making, or acknowledge the feelings that have grown between them...neither of which she's willing to do.

Download or read book The Art of Stealing a Duke's Heart written by Ellie St Clair and published by . This book was released on 2021-06-20 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It was only supposed to be one night. Calliope Murphy was determined to prove to her family that she was as capable as the rest of them. That she could master a priceless painting to steal from a duke who is far too arrogant and pompous for his own good. But when Calli is discovered and mistaken for the new governess, one night of deceit becomes a much longer game -- one that Calli is not sure she can win. Jonathan Saville, the Duke of Hargreave, should be able to attain anything he desires. His fortune is as large as his entailed lands, and his title is enough to cause young women to overlook his surliness and vie for the role of his bride. But Jonathan learned long ago never to trust, and never to let anyone in too close -- most especially not his overeager niece and nephew, nor the far-too-tempting new governess. Posing as the governess to the Duke of Hargreave, Calli relishes the opportunity to spend as much time as she can with the painting she must perfect. But the more time she takes, the closer she becomes to the children -- and the duke himself, as she discovers that there is more to him than he allows most people to see. As they draw closer, she realizes she can never betray him. Betraying him, however, is the only option her brother allows her to choose. When the deception is complete, Calli isn't sure what all will be stolen -- the painting, the duke's trust, or, most at risk, her heart. For readers 18+ due to some steamy scenes.

Book Synopsis The Duke of Wellington, Kidnapped! by : Alan Hirsch
Download or read book The Duke of Wellington, Kidnapped! written by Alan Hirsch and published by Catapult. This book was released on 2016-03-21 with total page 227 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1961, a thief broke into the National Gallery in London and committed the most sensational art heist in British history. He stole the museum's much prized painting, The Duke of Wellington by Francisco Goya. Despite unprecedented international attention and an unflagging investigation, the case was not solved for four years, and even then, only because the culprit came forward voluntarily. Kempton Bunton, an elderly gentleman, claimed he executed the theft armed with only a toy gun, a disguise purchased for five shillings, and a getaway car inadvertently provided by a drunkard. Shortly after turning himself in, Bunton also invoked language in an obscure law to maintain his innocence, despite the confession. He did not allege that the confession was false, but rather that stealing the painting did not constitute a crime because he intended to return it. On account of this improbable defense strategy, the story took another twist, resulting in a bizarre courtroom drama and extraordinary verdict. Over fifty years later, Alan Hirsch decided to explore the facts behind this historic case and uncovered shocking new evidence that both solved the crime and deepened the mystery.

Download or read book To Steal a Duke written by Maeve Greyson and published by . This book was released on 2023-11-28 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: She didn't steal. She simply took what was rightfully hers-including his heart. Charles, Duke of Hasterton, admired and respected for his cunning business acumen both at home and abroad has an astounding secret. He is imaginary. But his brilliant twin sister Cecilia is quite real. She was born in Germany after her father died and taught to guard the title, wealth, and power like the rare stolen treasure that it is. After all, as a daughter, she could never inherit the dukedom legally. Cecilia and her mother cultivate the ruse of the fictional duke quite nicely. Everybody who is anybody in London believes His Grace resides with them at their stunning residence in Germany. Their acquaintances in Germany believe the pretend peer is always in London or traveling the world over. But when Cecilia's mother falls victim to a grave illness and begs to visit her beloved London one last time, even though it's risky, Cecilia can't refuse her. But her mother can't travel alone, and Cecilia refuses to entertain superficial men pining for nothing more than her dowry. So, she poses as her mother's companion to ensure their elaborate farce remains safe. While everyone is told Lady Cecilia remained in Germany because of frail health, Miss Celia Bening, companion to the dowager duchess, enjoys the freedom to handle whatever arises-or at least, she tries. Lord Elias Raines might be the second son of a duke and the youngest solicitor in his law office, but he's proven himself so capable and talented that when his mentor dies, he's promoted to partner and assigned to the rich, influential clients cared for by the man who taught him everything he knows. Well, almost everything. His dearly departed advisor failed to mention some of the peculiarities in the Duke of Hasterton's file. Elias's requests for the duke to review the oddities have, so far, gone unanswered. Luckily enough, he discovers the duke's mother is in London. While decorum demands he wait for answers from the duke, he can't refrain from digging deeper when the dowager duchess requests he draw up her will with a suspiciously generous endowment for her companion, the lovely Miss Cecilia, an intriguing woman who drives him mad with desire. Delightful, passionate, and at times heartbreaking, a merry chase is had by all until a lifetime of secrets explodes. Elias must make a choice-help Cecilia devise a plan to protect the world she and her mother so carefully crafted or end their illegal scheme and escort them both to the prison. Only one can win: his profession or his heart-until a third option too terrible to imagine rears its ugly head and makes the choice for them both.
