His Enterprising Duchess

Beschreibung

Two lovers once separated by their families reunite to face scandal and secrets that may once again tear them apart. Lord Oliver Hawkins left England six years ago, swearing off titles and expectations and vowing to send for Thea Fowler, the woman he loved. After Thea betrayed him the moment he left, Oliver made a life and a fortune in Canada. Now a widower, he's returned to claim a title he never wanted and preserve his son's inheritance. But he'll do it his way while avoiding the woman who broke his heart. Innkeeper Thea Smith has spent the last six years telling more lies than she'd ever thought possible, all to hide the consequences after Lord Oliver Hawkins, the man she loved, left her with empty promises. Finally safe and respected, she'll do whatever it takes to protect what's hers. That includes staying clear of the man who abandoned her. However, in their country village it's as impossible to ignore each other as it is to overlook their history. As they work to restore the fortunes of the village, Oliver and Thea uncover devastating betrayals and heartaches that endanger everything they hold dear. The only way to build a future is to confront their past, but will facing the truth bring them together or tear them apart?

Autor

I have had my nose in a book since I learned to read, a hobby that I shared with my grandmother. She introduced me to romance, both contemporary and historical, at an age where I wasn't quite sure about everything that was happening on the page.I began writing as a challenge to myself, but I wrote my first historical romance on a dare. Now I'm hooked!I prefer to write heroines who can stand toe-to-toe with a hero, challenge society's rules for good reasons, and find love with heroes who admire an equal (even if it's a little reluctantly).An armchair historian, I also have a background in women's studies. I like read-and write-books with humor and a good mystery. Not all my books are high-heat, but some are (just like real life relationships.)I live in Arkansas with my husband and the two cats who rescued us. When I'm not writing or reading, I'm working at my day job or spending time with my family and friends (the same ones who dared me to write a historical romance).
