The Duke Wins a Wallflower
A painfully shy wallflower pulled into the public eye, a Duke with an overbearing and fiercely meddlesome mother, star-crossed lovers, a feud between families, a social disaster, an unstoppable love that conquers all.
The Honourable Miss Eliza Wingfield has hidden in the shadows since she came out in society – because there she is less likely to be mocked for her too-voluptuous body. But everything changes when the chance overhearing of her conversation results in her being pulled very much into the centre of attention.
Raphe Stewart, the Duke of Elkington, cannot stand the potential brides his meddlesome mother continually thrusts into his path, but when his sister engineers an introduction, he finds himself utterly entranced by the shy and retiring Miss Wingfield.
Unfortunately, Eliza’s sister manages to offend Raphe’s meddlesome mother, the formidable Duchess of Elkington, and she forbids Raphe from pursuing Miss Wingfield. But nothing is as it seems, for Raphe’s sister has her own secrets…
When Eliza, the Duke, his twin, her best friend, and more find themselves trapped in a social disaster not of their making, confrontation is inevitable. Will they all find love by Christmas? Or is heartbreak inevitable?
Although each book in this series may be read as a standalone, readers may gain more pleasure from reading the books of The Duke’s Heritage in the order in which they are released.
