Download or read book No Dukes Need Apply written by Gemma Blackwood and published by Gemma Blackwood. This book was released on 2023-09-20 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lady Selina Balfour would make the perfect duchess. But the Duke of Caversham is far from her idea of the perfect husband. Malcolm Locke is everything Selina hates about powerful men – reckless, arrogant, and all too aware of his own chiselled jaw. Which makes it all the more important that Selina’s candidate beats his in the upcoming election. Someone needs to teach the duke to behave. The first lesson? Kissing a woman until her knees go weak isn’t enough to make her give up her ideals. Everyone knows that Malcolm is in dire need of a respectable duchess, an heir, and an end to his rivalry with Selina. But why is he so determined to pursue the one woman who’ll never have him? Selina’s not sure she wants to know the answer. Her wounded heart is more than she can risk. But she’ll happily take on the duke in the political arena, if a war is what he wants. There’s only one possible outcome. Defeat for one. Victory for the other. Unless there’s a sweet surrender in store for them both…

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A reckless duke meets his match in a determined young woman – and throws her future into jeopardy with one stolen kiss. Miss Anna Hawkins, the daughter of a poor country doctor, knows the mysterious stranger who kissed her at the ball cannot really be the Duke of Beaumont. Dukes are virtuous and noble, and this man is arrogant, impudent… and dangerously seductive. When she discovers he is telling the truth, it only makes matters worse. Anna has more important problems than romance – a handsome duke is the last thing she needs. Beaumont cannot forget Anna Hawkins. It’s not only her sharp mind and delicate features. It’s not only the flame-red hair he longs to caress. It’s not even that she is the only woman in England to say no to a duke. Anna is not afraid to chastise Beaumont for his lack of virtue, and he has never wanted anyone more. Before long, he has only one desire: to make her his duchess. But it takes more than a dukedom to win a woman’s heart. This is the second book in the series Scandals of Scarcliffe Hall. You do not have to read the first book to enjoy this one! However, there are some connections between the books which will reward readers of the whole series.

Book excerpt: Miss Daisy Morton must make a choice: play the fiancée to a duke she doesn’t love, or face ruin. Daisy has a very good reason for hiding underneath the Duke of Loxwell's bed. Unfortunately, she can't tell anyone what it is... even to save herself from disaster. So when the duke makes her a mysterious offer, she's in no position to refuse. He wants a fake engagement. There's only one rule: she can't fall in love with him. Simple enough. What are the chances that the true love Daisy has always dreamed of should turn out to be the strict, strait-laced, surprisingly tender duke with a devastating smile reserved especially for her? Alexander Balfour, the new Duke of Loxwell, lives for honour and duty. The dukedom weighs as heavily on his shoulders as the responsibility of setting an example for his four unruly sisters. And that honour has sealed his fate forever. A fatal mistake in his past means he cannot fall in love without betraying those he holds dearest. Even if Daisy turns his world upside down in a hundred different ways, she cannot save him from his lonely penance. Or can she?

But since her only other option is marrying the terrifying Lord Beeston, she’ll fling herself on the mercy of anyone who can smuggle her off to the safety of her sister’s country cottage. It’s just her luck that the man she flings herself upon is Captain Sebastian Whitby, who – quite apart from his rough manners and pistol-toting reputation – happens to owe Beeston his life. Sebastian takes paying his debts very seriously. He’ll do anything to persuade her to give Beeston a chance. Anything except stop kissing her, that is, because that keeps happening with alarming regularity. And, though Jennifer is certain she’s never met a ruder, more reckless, more impossible man in her life, she doesn’t want to stop kissing Sebastian, either…

She just needs to persuade her sworn enemy, Viscount Kendrick, to help her do it. Hugo Kendrick is as cunning as he’s charming, scarred inside and out. Cassandra knows his help will come at a price – but the prize money could secure her sisters’ future, and that’s worth risking everything. She didn’t expect she’d be paying Hugo’s price with breathless moonlit kisses. Or that the only thing to drive her crazier than his mocking smile might be the glitter of starlight in his dark eyes. Or that he’d enter the tourney himself, just to spite her. No, wait. Perhaps she should have expected that. The treacherous cad! Swords clash, sparks fly, and before Cassandra knows it, the fencing trophy is no longer the only prize in contention. Hugo has his sights set on her. And he always fights to win.

But persuading him, her family, and her own heart to believe that is proving unexpectedly difficult… The lively, accident-prone Edith has never been the proper young lady her family would like her to be. She would rather travel the world and live a life of adventure than settle down with a suitable gentleman. The only person who truly understand her dreams is Lord Rotherham, her closest friend and confidant. Nathaniel would be everything Edith needed, if only his own dreams were not so firmly rooted in England. As it is, Edith wouldn’t risk losing his friendship for anything – no matter what wonderful feelings he stirs inside her.

Book Synopsis What an Heiress Wants by : Gemma Blackwood
Download or read book What an Heiress Wants written by Gemma Blackwood and published by Gemma Blackwood. This book was released on with total page 277 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lady Isobel Balfour desperately needs a make-believe suitor. Luckily, her best friend's brother is charming, eligible, and ready for anything... As long as she doesn't uncover his secrets. It’s no small task to juggle an illicit career, a troublesome maiden aunt, and a plot for wreaking vengeance on the cad who toyed with her heart. So Isobel has chosen the perfect partner in crime: Mr Lucius Whitby, the elder brother of her dearest friend. Lucius is exactly the sort of gentleman that girls like Isobel are supposed to fall in love with: wealthy and flirtatious, with a devilish grin and eyes like a storm-tossed sky. In other words, he'll make Isobel’s one-time love weep tears of jealousy. Behold, the perfect revenge! As for Lucius's own motives for pretending to woo an heiress? He's made it clear Isobel is not to ask. And clearer still that their imaginary romance will not, under any circumstances, become real. So if his touch makes her tremble - if their secret meetings fill her heart with music - if she aches with longing for one more kiss, that’s a small price to pay for her revenge. Isn’t it? Because they’re not really in love. Of course they’re not. True love at a time like this would ruin everything.
