Short description

Lady Adelaide is engaged to be married to a duke, but sometimes passion creates a new destiny...

Extended description

Lady Adelaide Robins, the charming and beautiful daughter of an impoverished earl, was raised on the foggy moors of Yorkshire. Never in her wildest dreams did she imagine she would travel to London, capture the heart of a duke, and receive a proposal of marriage. Is she ready for a life of luxury and privilege as a duchess? Or will her heart forever belong to another?

William Thomas, the second son of a Yorkshire viscount, is about to be disowned for his unbecoming ambitions to become a medical doctor. But what does it matter if he can have the woman he loves at his side? Determined to finally claim the hand of Lady Adelaide, his lifelong beloved, William is shocked to discover that she has accepted a marriage proposal from a duke. With the wedding only days away, will he be able to win back her heart?

“Julianne MacLean’s writing is smart, thrilling, and sizzles with sensuality.”—Elizabeth Hoyt

Review by: A Meg on March 30, 2013 :
Shorter than I expected even a short story to be. Although it was nice to get through a story in the limited time frame I have these days to enjoy a book. I haven't read the others in the series, but this definitely whetted my appetite for them :)

Review by: Ally Chew on March 16, 2013 :
This is a quick little read, a 31 page novella which is a prequel to the author's Pembroke Palace Series. I haven't read the author's other books, however this does make me want to read them, although I wasn't totally captivated by the characters. I also thought the female protagonist's father change in behaviour was rather abrupt and jarring. But it's a really good introduction, and the characters, the landscape, and the historical times seem to be well written.
