Duchess by Deception (Gilded #1)

Synopsis

For fans of HBO&’s The Gilded Age, explore the dazzling world of America&’s 19th century elite in this lush series of sparkling, page-turning love stories… In New York Times bestselling author Marie Force&’s dazzling historical romance debut, the clock is ticking for a wealthy Duke who must marry by his thirtieth birthday—or lose his title . . . Derek Eagan, the dashing Duke of Westwood, is well aware of his looming deadline. But weary of tiresome debutantes, he seeks a respite at his country home in Essex—and encounters a man digging on his property. Except he&’s not a man. He&’s a very lovely woman. Who suddenly faints at his feet. Catherine McCabe&’s disdain for the aristocracy has already led her to flee an arranged marriage with a boorish Viscount. The last thing she wants is to be waylaid in a Duke&’s home. Yet, she is compelled to stay by the handsome, thoughtful man who introduces himself as the Duke&’s estate manager. Derek realizes two things immediately: he is captivated by her delicate beauty, and to figure out what she was up to, Catherine must not know he is the Duke. But as they fall passionately in love, Derek&’s lie spins out of control. Will their bond survive his deception, not to mention the scorned Viscount&’s pursuit? Most important, can Catherine fall in love all over again—this time with the Duke?Praise for Marie Force&“Genuine and heartfelt. . . .
