Never Say Duke - Paperback

A feel-good opposites-attract Regency romance, featuring a warmhearted rescuer who can't help herself, a surly war hero determined to be left alone, and a holiday season that refuses to cooperate with either of them.

Miss Virginia Underwood cannot resist rescuing a stray. Her latest find turns out to be a surly, reclusive war hero trying to recover from his wounds in peace. He doesn't want her help-and Virginia definitely doesn't want to fall in love. Not when a future with him would mean returning to the the same haut ton who laughed her out of Town during her very first Season.

Theodore O'Hanlon, Viscount Ormondton, sequestered himself far from London to heal in anonymity. For now, he can be himself. As soon as he returns, he's meant to wed the woman his father selected years before. But when Miss Underwood turns his carefully mapped life upside-down, Theo must decide which battles are truly worth fighting for.

Warm-hearted and gently swoony with real emotional depth, Never Say Duke is Regency Christmas romance for readers who love a gruff hero slowly undone by kindness - and a heroine brave enough to love someone worth the risk.
