A wounded duke.
A defiant vicar's daughter.
A scandal that could set Regency society ablaze...
Eleanor Fairbanks has no intention of becoming a meek duchess. Sharp-tongued, fearless, and utterly unladylike, she would rather shock the ton than bow to its rules. Unfortunately, her determined father insists that his eight unruly daughters must marry - and Eleanor, the eldest, is first in line.
Gabriel Harwood, Duke of Ravensmere, has survived Waterloo, but not without scars both visible and unseen. Duty demands he marry quickly and secure an heir. What he does not expect is to be ensnared by a vicar's daughter who laughs in the face of propriety and sees past the armor he wears.
What begins as a practical arrangement soon turns into something far more dangerous. Eleanor refuses to be managed. Gabriel refuses to be softened. Yet the more they clash, the more their passion burns - until scandal, scheming rivals, and one wayward goose threaten to tear them apart.
Will love conquer pride, or will London's gossips ruin them before they reach the altar?
The Duke's Defiant Rose is the first book in The Fairbanks Sisters series - a witty, swoon-worthy Regency historical romance filled with sparkling banter, fierce heroines, brooding dukes, laugh-out-loud family chaos, and slow-burn passion. Perfect for fans of Julia Quinn, Tessa Dare, and Lisa Kleypas.
