Synopsis
A Duke Like No Other is the ninth book in Valerie Bowman's Playful Brides series, a Regency spy caper in which husband and wife match wits.
General Mark Grimaldi is devoted to his service for the Crown, having risked his life and given up a great deal for his career. The political promotion he has always wanted is finally within reach, but he needs to convince his estranged wife to return to England and play the role of a happy bride in order to get it.
Nicole Huntington Grimaldi has spent the past ten years in France and has not seen her husband since she left England. When Mark appears on her doorstep, she sees an opportunity to get something out of the arrangement, and agrees on one condition: she wants a baby. Neither of them is prepared for the desire they rekindle, and Bowman lets a second chance at marriage sit inside a plot of espionage and political maneuvering.
