If I Only Had a Duke
If I Only Had a Duke is the second book in Lenora Bell's Regency-set Disgraceful Dukes series. After three failed seasons and a disastrous jilting, Lady Dorothea Beaumont has had enough of her family's marriage schemes and plans to quietly retreat to her aunt's estate in Ireland. Those plans collapse when Garrett, the cold and calculating Duke of Osborne, singles her out for a waltz, making her the most sought-after belle of the season purely to serve his own ends.
Garrett has no interest in debutantes or marriage; he is using scandal and dalliance as cover while he hunts the man who destroyed his family years ago. When his search leads him to Ireland, Thea shows up demanding he keep his promise to escort her there, and his agreement pulls them both into a journey full of danger, wit and an attraction neither of them wants. A witty, steamy enemies-to-lovers romance with real emotional stakes beneath the banter.
