Portrait of a Duke (Ducal Encounters Series 1 Book 3) Kindle Edition

by Wendy Soliman (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.2 out of 5 stars 265 ratings
Revised and reedited October 2020
Rumours abound that Patrick Trafford, the famous Irish portrait artist, is the recluse who has taken Parkstone Manor, the rundown estate bordering the Duke of Winchester’s country seat. Lord Vincent Sheridan, the duke’s brother, is able to satisfy his family’s curiosity in that regard when he rescues eight-year-old twins from a brawl in Compton village. Far from being grateful for the twins’ safe delivery, Niamh Trafford, Patrick’s granddaughter and the boys’ aunt, all but evicts Vince from her tumbledown home.
Nia despairs. Now that Lord Vincent knows who they are, her grandfather will never be left in peace. His diminished mental capabilities will become public knowledge, ruining his reputation and making him a laughing stock. Drawn into the Sheridan’s elite social circle, Nia struggles to hide her growing attraction towards Lord Vincent. In urgent need of a confidante, she admits to him that someone is faking Trafford portraits, exploiting her grandfather’s muddled state of mind for their own gain.
Patrick Trafford regains some of his former awareness when he is persuaded to undertake a portrait of the duke. Vince and Nia launch an ambitious plan to use the finished canvas as bait to uncover the identity of the forger. In so doing, Nia and the twins fall foul of a ruthless individual who will stop at nothing to exact revenge against the Trafford family, and secure his own future into the bargain.
But he has reckoned without Vince, who is equally determined to save the woman he has fallen deeply in love with. Will he be in time…

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!

    5.0 out of 5 stars Another brilliantly written story in the series

    This is another brilliantly written story in a great series. The plot has plenty of emotional fears as well as some suspense. The main characters are beautifully portrayed and manage to achieve their joyous end. This is a brilliant book for anybody who loves clean historical romances that have a bit of mystery.

    I have only just started reading this book, but am finding it difficult because of obvious text omissions and repeats, and this in chapter 1; about 5 omissions and 3 repeats, I have never had this problem before
