About this ebook

The author of Every Bit a Rogue delivers a Regency romance that “builds sexual tension to a satisfying crescendo. This book sizzles with desire” (Literary Times).
 
Fiercely independent Alyssa Carrington deftly ran her father’s English estate for years. But before his death, he auctioned Westgate Manor to the highest bidder, leaving her penniless. Now there was a new lord of the manor—and Alyssa found herself at his mercy . . .
 
A charismatic ladies’ man, the Duke of Gillingham is more than happy to welcome lovely Alyssa into rooms that were once hers—especially the master bedroom. Never before has he met a woman who so attracts him body and mind. But it is exactly Alyssa’s mind that concerns her. Much as she enjoys the Duke’s attentions, she does not enjoy the longing he inspires. Nor will she become another of his conquests. Yet the Duke has powers of persuasion Alyssa never dreamed possible. Now she must decide whether to risk her sensibly planned future—and her sensibly guarded heart . . .

Ratings and reviews

This book was so borrrring. Hero was totally unlikable and inept. Heroine was good enough to sleep with but not marry until she got pregnant and I had the feeling it was only out of a sense of duty. Sex was good hence the two stars but with so many other great books by this author I would skip this one..

First novel I read... Was 15 and half. I still have that very same book (been read over 100xs) almost two decades later. This book holds a special place in my heart.

Good reading and some laughable real life reactions. Female lead had strong back bone (like)
