THE DUCHESS by BERTRICE SMALL
|
SummaryAs the daughter of the richest man in England, Allegra
Morgan attracts a number of fortune hunters willing to
overlook her flawed pedigree to gain her enormous wealth.
Her most ardent suitor is the arrogant but impoverished
Quinton Hunter, duke of Sedgwick, who has little to offer
a
prospective wife except his grand title. Allegra decides
that if she must marry, she might as well be a duchess. So
she agrees to the match with one condition: her husband
must never ask for her love. She has seen the misery love
can cause and has vowed to give her heart to no man--
especially a dangerously alluring duke.
Quinton is dazzled by his new wife's grace and fortitude,
as well as the fierce desire that rages between them.
Despite his best intentions, he finds himself falling in
love with her. Then the terrors of the French Revolution
hit close to home, and the two of them set off on a
treacherous adventure that could cost them
everything . . .
including their final chance at happiness.
