About this ebook
Rising romance novelist Jamie Carieās second book, The Duchess and the Dragon, tells the epic story of two unlikely soulmates who live worlds apart but soon meet and turn each otherās world upside down.Ā Drake Weston, Duke of Northumberland, is accustomed to a life of royalty until a tragic mistake followed by murderous rage results in his darkening character and sudden flee from England. With a hoarde of money on which to survive, Drake hops a ship of indentured servants to America but is duly robbed and taken ill by the merciless sea voyage.Ā In Pennsylvania, Serena Winter is a humble, devoted Quaker on a mission of mercy, ready to tend the sick people aboard a ship that has just arrived from England. Taken by Drakeās air of dark mystery after he begins to serve as an apprentice to her silversmith father, Serena falls in love and is excommunicated by her fellow believers when she accepts a non-Quakerās marriage proposal.Ā Not knowing Drakeās history, Serena is later shocked to discover her new status as a duchess. What follows are hard truths and softening hearts, romance triangles, webs of deceit, and ultimately, the power of grace, love, and passion.Ā Endorsements:Ā "Enthralling. The Duchess and the Dragon brought me to tears, to joy, and finally the delight of having just read an absorbing-till-the-last-line novel."āLauraine Snelling, author of Breaking Free and An Untamed Land
"A thoroughly entertaining and uplifting read . . . an absolute treat."
āThe Sunpiper Book Review
"Jamie Carie's characterization is brilliant with . . . a depth and authenticity rarely seen in romance novels . . . With one book she has entrenched herself a place as one of my āmust readā authors."

This story deserves an award. Serena is an ideal role model to me now. š. My best part is around the last pages where it said that God had purified their love. šššš. I could give this ten stars.
