Claiming the Duke’s Heart (Regency Romance)

Isabella longed to leave poverty behind. When she is hired as a Lady’s Maid for Lady Emilia, The Duke of Northfolk’s cousin, at his estate, she believes her life will change for the better.

Isabella is beautiful and intelligent and catches the eye of the Duke, for a brief moment. Jeremy Follett has no interest in settling down, although his mother, the Dowager Duchess and Lady Emilia plan to change that, and steer him away from the cunning woman who is in love with him, Lady Henrietta.

But the Duke has no need for marriage and prefers many women to be by his side, not one forever. But as a desperate Lady Emilia wants Jeremy to fall in love and produce heirs, she decides to take matters into her own hands. When the Duke meets the stunning woman that is presented to him at a ball, his heart stills. But soon, the Duke is back to his wandering ways, willing to have fun with this beautiful woman, while keeping his heart detached.

But Lady Henrietta has eyes of her own, and when she sees the Duke with the beautiful stranger, she intervenes, because if she can’t have the Duke of Northfolk, no one will.
