A Lords of Vice Historical Romance Novella

About the Book

Featuring Jared and Persephone, The Duke and Duchess of Wyndmere.

Two lives pledged, two hearts breaking… Will true love conquer all?

Persephone, Duchess of Wyndmere still has the weight she gained carrying her babes. She started to lose it and then a few months later she started gaining it back–worse still she’s exhausted again! The terrifying kidnapping attempts on her precious babes, coupled with her weight and exhaustion, have her moods shifting from happy to dark.

Jared, Duke of Wyndmere is still surly, preoccupied. Although he is concerned about his wife’s health and that of their babes, he is more concerned with hiring extra guards in London to widen his web of protection around his family. When he announces his plans to hie off to London, her reaction has him keeping the reason for the trip from her.

Persephone is devastated when he leaves, believing she has pushed him to leave with her highly emotional state. She sends two urgent missives to him—one verbal, one written, to arrive in London before the duke.

While he is away, his staff decides to interfere. Persephone agrees with the staff’s suggestions to invite the vicar and his wife to tea. She enjoys their company and agrees to host dinner which includes the squire’s nephew and his friend—rumored rakehells. The gentlemen with questionable reputations lavish her with compliments until she wonders if her fears are founded. She has yet to receive a response to the missives she sent to her husband. When rumors reach Wyndmere Hall that the duke attended Lady Stenerson’s ball and was seen waltzing with two widows and the lady herself, she cannot hide her unhappiness. Her staff urges her to invite the rakehells to tea, hoping the duke has received O’Malley’s missive about the duchess’ recent guests.

When the duke hears of her recent dinner guests, his concern for her reputation—and his own, have him fuming and ready to send off a missive to his wife…when he realizes he has forgotten to reply to her missives. He decides to return to Wyndmere Hall to settle matters between them in person.

Can the interference of the duke’s guard, and their faithful staff, bring the duke and his duchess back together, or will their plans backfire and force them further apart?
