As the Duke's Agent (Ducal Encounters Series 4 Book 1) Kindle Edition

4.3 out of 5 stars 244 ratings

Still bearing the scars of a brutal yet mercifully short marriage, Laura Hedley, left independently wealthy, accepts an invitation from her friend Frankie, the Duchess of Winchester, to stay at Winchester Park while she considers settling in the district. But trouble follows close on her heels in the form of her disgruntled stepson who thinks that Laura has stolen his rightful inheritance.
Lord Simeon Pallister is convinced that his brother Albert’s murder was arranged by the adulterous wife whom Albert was threatening to divorce. Simeon seeks the duke’s help to track down the perpetrators. Lord Amos, the duke’s brother, sees an opportunity to exorcise his personal demons by helping Simeon to find justice, unaware that it will involve taking partial responsibility for Laura’s problems too.
Will Simeon find the proof he seeks? Will Laura ever feel truly free? Danger threatens at every turn. So too does the burgeoning passion that Laura and Simeon find it increasingly hard to ignore. But Laura has been burnt once and will never marry again…

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

I’m a British author, brought up on the Isle of Wight and share my life with a handsome rescued Spanish Podenco called Markos.

I’ve had over one hundred books published, ranging from Regency romance, (my first love), to contemporary women’s fiction and marine crime mysteries.

When not writing I walk miles, make half-hearted attempts to retain flexibility by attending yoga classes, read other people’s tomes…oh, and I’m on a one woman mission to keep the wine trade profitable!

    This is a brilliantly crafted first book in this third sequel series. It has brought us some wonderful new characters into the Duke's circle as well as another intriguing situation to be overcome.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Interesting group of characters

    This story had such an interesting group of characters and a loving family feel amongst the inhabitants of ‘The Park’. I enjoyed that Laura was determined to be her own woman after her first disastrous marriage and to go after what she wanted. Frankie was just the right friend for her, to encourage her and to listen to her. This story has a murderer to uncover and a stepson intend on causing mischief. This was an entertaining read that had all the correct attitudes for the era.
