About this ebook

“Delightful, dazzling, and oh-so delicious.” ~Cheryl Bolen, NYT Bestselling Author


A reluctant duke. A vicar’s daughter. A forbidden love.


Marriage—an unpleasant obligation

A troublesome addendum to his father’s will requires Victor, Duke of Sutcliffe to marry before his twenty-seventh birthday or lose his fortune. After a three-year absence, he ventures home, intent upon finding the most biddable and forgettable miss in Essex. A woman who will make no demands upon him and won’t mind being left behind when he returns to London. Except, Victor meets Theadosia Brentwood again and finds himself powerless to resist her—even if she is promised to another and the exact opposite of what he thought he wanted in a duchess.


Marriage—an impossible choice

Secretly in love with Victor for years, Theadosia is overjoyed when he returns. Until she learns he must marry within mere weeks. When he unexpectedly proposes, she must make an impossible decision. How can Thea elope with him when he’s marrying out of necessity, not love? Besides, if she does wed Victor, her betrothed—a man she loathes—will reveal a scandalous secret. A secret that will send her father to prison and leave her sister and mother homeless.

I love this author, and while this probably didn't catch my imagination as some of her other books have, it was still interesting enough to have me up well past my bedtime hahahah! Truth be told, I'm not sure I was convinced by the "danger" the villain presented, and the hero felt a little under developed. But alls well that ends well and I don't regret the investment in reading or lost sleep.

A troublesome addendum to his father’s will requires Victor, Duke of Sutcliffe to marry before his twenty-seventh birthday or lose his fortune & his birthday is looming. After a three-year absence, he ventures home, intent upon finding the most biddable and forgettable miss in Essex. A woman who will make no demands upon him and won’t mind being left behind when he returns to London. Theadosia Brentwood is overjoyed when he returns. Thea’s father the Reverend Brentwood is behaving strangely & announces her betrothal to his new curate Mr Leadford who will reveal a scandalous secret if she refuses. A secret that will send her father to prison and leave her sister and mother homeless. Another very enjoyable read from the author. This is the second book in the series & whilst it’s easily read by itself I read this immediately after reading the first book in the series & I now wish more in the series were released so I could thoroughly binge. The characters are well portrayed & the pace is good. Victor & Thea are very likeable & are made for each other. Ideal for whiling away a few hours, I read it in a sitting as was loathe to put it down

I loved this story. Theadosia Brentwood is a vicar’s daughter and she has a secret. She has been secretly in love with Victor Nathaniel Horatio, the Duke of Sutcliffe for many years. But why would a Duke ever want a lowly vicar’s daughter? When Theadosia’s family is threatened only the Duke can save them. Only A Duke Would Dare is a wonderful story of love and forgiveness. It is a very quick read and perfect for an afternoon on the couch. I was gifted a copy of this book.
