What
the
Duke Wants
By Amy Quinton
Upstanding duke
desperately seeks accident-prone wife from trade…
England 1814: Miss
Grace (ha!) Radclyffe is an oftentimes hilariously clumsy, 20-year-old orphan
biding her time living with her uncle until she is old enough to come into her
small inheritance. Much to her aunt’s chagrin, she isn’t: reserved (not with
her shocking! tendency to befriend the servants), sophisticated (highly
overrated), or graceful (she once flung her dinner into a duke’s face). But she
is: practical and in love… maybe… perhaps… possibly…
The Duke of
Stonebridge is an agent for the Crown with a tragic past. His father died
mysteriously when he was 12 years old amid speculation that the old duke was
‘involved’ with another man. He must restore his family name, but on the eve of
his engagement to the perfect debutante, he meets his betrothed’s cousin, and
his world is turned inside out… No matter, he is always: logical (men who
follow their hearts are foolish) and reserved (his private life is nobody’s
business but his own). And he isn’t: impulsive or in love… maybe… perhaps…
possibly…
Can he have what he
wants and restore his name? Can she trust him to be the man she needs?
Excerpt
“Grace, I’m sorry.”
He paused and held her gaze. For a moment, Grace allowed
herself to stand there, locked in his sights. Despite her anger over his
earlier implications, she undeniably longed for things that could never be. She
was attracted to this man on a basic, animal level. It didn’t matter that society
frowned at their differing classes. His head drew nearer, and for a fleeting
moment, she was confident he would kiss her, and oh, how she wanted it. But she
was consciously aware that it would be a mistake. He was nearly betrothed to
her cousin, and though her cousin and she were not friends, Grace would never
betray her family that way, especially with a man she barely knew. It was
wrong.
So before their lips could meet, Grace ducked under his arm
and darted out the library door.
Stonebridge remained completely still. He closed his eyes as
he tried to hold on to her lingering scent and the image of her staring up at
him with so much intensity—with desire in her eyes. Then, ever so slowly, he
leaned his head against the books where only moments before she had stood
within his arms, within his reach. His heart still beat erratically.
He had nearly kissed her. And what a mess that would have
been. And yet, he was completely undone, for it wasn’t he who had stopped it
from happening.
