A Regency Romance of Deception, Redemption, and Scandalous Love
American Heiresses - Book 1
When duty collides with desire, can love conquer all?
Diana Wakefield is no ordinary American heiress. Independent, sharp-witted, and fiercely loyal, she’s crossed the Atlantic to confront the future her family has arranged—a proxy marriage to a powerful English duke she’s never met. But instead of accepting her fate, Diana strikes a bold deal with her calculating grandmother: she’ll pose as a governess to observe her new husband in secret. If he proves unworthy of her trust—or her heart—she’ll escape, free to chart her own destiny.
Gabriel Rayborne, Duke of Rothbury, is a man shackled by duty. Left widowed with two young children and a crumbling estate, he’s resigned himself to a loveless union to secure his family’s future. Yet when a captivating governess enters his home, challenging his every belief about family, loyalty, and love, Gabriel finds his carefully ordered world unraveling. The fact that she stirs his heart—and his desire—is an irresistible complication.
As Diana’s deception weaves a web of secrets and truths, passion ignites between them, leaving them both questioning their carefully laid plans. But when her identity is revealed, will Gabriel see her betrayal as unforgivable—or as the ultimate act of courage?
With scandal threatening and the past haunting their every step, Diana and Gabriel must decide: Is their love strong enough to bridge the divide of duty and desire?
Perfect for fans of Julia Quinn, Lisa Kleypas, and Tessa Dare, *Her Duke of Duty and Desire* is a spellbinding Regency romance filled with clever banter, heart-stirring moments, and a love story for the ages. If you adore heroines with spirit and dukes with hearts of gold, this captivating tale will sweep you off your feet.

Virtual voice is flat
Virtual voice is just flat. It’s just boring. Nothing like a real narrator. I thought I detected faint echoes or tremors on words occasionally. Very little differentiation of characters.
