About this ebook

A Duke in Retreat

Gina was forced into marriage with the Duke of Girton at an age when she'd have been better off in a schoolroom than a ballroom. Directly after the ceremony her handsome spouse promptly fled to the continent, leaving the marriage unconsummated and Gina quite indignant.

A Lady In the Middle

Now, she is one of the most well-known ladies in London ... living on the edge of scandal—desired by many men, but resisting giving herself to any one.

A Duchess in Love

Finally, Camden, the Duke of Girton, has returned home, to discover that his naïve bride has blossomed into the toast of the ton. Which leaves Cam in the most uncomfortable position of discovering that he has the bad manners to be falling in love—with his own wife!

Ratings and reviews

This story was a wreck from beginning to end. There was no depth in the characters and the story was all over the place. Incredibly unrealistic for the time in which it was sent. I read it all the way through just to see how it would end the end fell apart completely.

Main hero had too many uncertainties. Well, still a good variety among many of Eloisa's creations. The last 'scence' is the saving grace. Hot! Sebastian is weird.

Didn't like how there were too many characters in the book what different plots and problems going on. Kind of confusing.
