Mending the Duke’s Pride

Book 1: The Lords of Vice Series

About the Book

Pride, Lust, Envy and Greed…vices that could lead a gentleman down the  road to ruin. Unless he meets his saving grace in the form of a bespeckled bluestocking…

Jared Malcolm Lippincott, the Sixth Duke of Wyndmere, has restored the family fortune. While he wrestles with his unwanted, inherited title, he is blindsided by the instant attraction to a wholly unsuitable lady on the verge of spinsterhood. His plans to restore the family name, and his pride, are in danger of being sidetracked by the slip of a woman in a bilious-colored gown.

Lady Persephone does not wish to marry, cleverly donning the guise of a bespeckled bluestocking to discourage offers of marriage. Fate has other plans the night she falls into the duke’s arms captivated by the sparkle in his brilliant blue eyes. Society is all agog speculating if the two are more than just strangers.

When an unknown enemy threatens to ruin him, restoring the family name is not as important as protecting his family. He forms a private guard of sixteen men who vow to guard the duke and his family with their lives. But it isn’t enough when the enemy is revealed to be from his past and threatening his lady. A marriage of convenience binds the duke and Persephone together, but as the enemy draws closer, the duke realizes his enemy’s intention shifts from ruin to murder!

Genres & Tropes: Regency Romance, Historical Romance, Hardheaded Heroes, Feisty Heroines, Second Chances, Marriage of Convenience, Forced Proximity, Love at First Sight, Happily Ever After.
