To Dare a Duke
Dreams of true love and happy ever afters

Dreams of love are all well and good, but all Prunella Chuffington-Smythe wants is to publish her novel. Marriage at the price of her independence is something she will not consider. Having tasted success writing under a false name in The Lady’s Weekly Review, her alter ego is attaining notoriety and fame and Prue rather likes it.

A Duty that must be endured

Robert Adolphus, The Duke of Bedwin, is in no hurry to marry, he’s done it once and repeating that disaster is the last thing he desires. Yet, an heir is a necessary evil for a duke and one he cannot shirk. A dark reputation precedes him though, his first wife may have died young, but the scandals the beautiful, vivacious and spiteful creature supplied the ton have not. A wife must be found. A wife who is neither beautiful or vivacious but sweet and dull, and certain to stay out of trouble.

Dared to do something drastic

The sudden interest of a certain dastardly duke is as bewildering as it is unwelcome. She’ll not throw her ambitions aside to marry a scoundrel just as her plans for self-sufficiency and freedom are coming to fruition. Surely showing the man she’s not actually the meek little wallflower he is looking for should be enough to put paid to his intentions? When Prue is dared by her friends to do something drastic, it seems the perfect opportunity to kill two birds.
However, Prue cannot help being intrigued by the rogue who has inspired so many of her romances. Ordinarily, he plays the part of handsome rake, set on destroying her plucky heroine. But is he really the villain of the piece this time, or could he be the hero?

Finding out will be dangerous, but it just might inspire her greatest story yet.

Happy reading! And please do leave a review if you can – it would mean the world to hear what you enjoyed most about the book.

**** Warning: This book contains a careful selection of quiet determination, resolute tight-lipped-ness and (almost) insurmountable levels of tension. Although coupled with the presence of occasionally descriptive sexual encounters, we are very pleased to highlight that this book - and series - is in no way verging on erotica. ****

"Estou achando muito bom. A história me prende, gosto de todos os personagens e acho que o casal tem química. E o melhor é que a própria autora avisa que tem hot, mas ele não pende pro ~erótico. Ou seja, yas!, tem história além da atração sexual! Estou muito animada com essa série."

"Obaaa, mais um livrinho ótimo! Estou mesmo virando fã dessa autora. A história me prendeu, teve uma hora que eu fiquei, "mas não tem como consertar isso de maneira boa!!", e ela foi lá e puft, arrumou!! E só teve hot no final, hahaha. Gostei da Prue, gostei do Robert, as amigas são maravilhosas... Continuo empolgada com a série, vamos ver o que o terceiro livro nos reserva."
