4.3 out of 5 stars 305 ratings

Revised and reedited October 2020
Zachary Sheridan, the eligible and charismatic Duke of Winchester, is faced with a dilemma. In a youthful misadventure his father’s life was saved by his friend Euston. As a token of his gratitude Winchester signed a document promising his firstborn son in marriage to Euston’s daughter. Both men are now dead, but Euston’s widow is intent on having Zach honour the agreement to marry her daughter Fiona.
Whether or not the document she possesses is genuine, Zach cannot chance bringing dishonour on his family by challenging the claim and risking a breach of promise case.
Meanwhile, Frankie St John, Zach’s alluring widowed neighbour, is being blackmailed by her brother-in-law. He possesses a document which, if made public, would reveal a devastating secret that would see her ostracized from society. Worse, she would lose the respect of Zach, the man she secretly adores.
Can Zach and Frankie find a way through this web of intrigue, save the Sheridan family name and find the happiness together they so richly deserve …

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!

    I really enjoyed this book. The main characters were very well-developed and were admirable people. The plot was imaginative and had enough intrigue to hold my interest.
  • Reviewed in the United States on September 21, 2019
    All six of this series involve the siblings--two brothers and two sisters--of the Duke of Winchester, and their travels through the perils of courtship. Each story involves a sib, with the duke's story last. Each makes an unusual match, and each story involves some perils and shenanigans involving the H and h. These stories are well written, witty and best of all, well edited. If I were to offer one small criticism, it is that all end rather abruptly. I am now deep into Book 2, which involves the family's five cousins just returned from America.

    I have just finished the Ducal Encounters Series 1 and encourage, no insist, that anyone who enjoys novels which stir all the emotions to read anything Wendy Soliman writes. I plan to devour the Series 2 novels starting now!

    5.0 out of 5 stars really good read.
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 6, 2015
    having read the previous books in the series back to back and found them each in turn very difficult to put down and get on with anything else. This was the thread that ran through those stories that needed a conclusion. The characters and storyline draw you in and keep your attention until the final page. The story did seem to finish more quickly than the others The book could be read as a stand alone but makes more impact if you are aware of what has gone before.

    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 22, 2020
    This is a wonderfully written conclusion to what is a great series. The plot is full of emotional twists and turns, And the characters are brilliantly crafted, with the strength and determination to overcome their fears and enemies. This is a great book for anybody who loves spicy historical romances that have a bit of suspense.

    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 18, 2018
    I thoroughly enjoyed this book I have enjoyed all the books in the series but this one was one of the best because it was Zach’s story but as he has been there throughout all of them it was lovely that to see his love for Frankie was not just on the last few pages well worth a read.

    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 16, 2017
    Zack and Frankie are my favourite couple in this series. They are both mature, well established, likeable people whose relationship blossoms in this edition of the series. Excellent book, fantastic series. Stories are entertaining and characters are likeable and engaging.
