The Dreadful Duke - Grace Burrowes

nHe'd rather carry hod in hell...n nFinn Cathcart, an increasingly successful sculptor, is having a perfectly fine time on the Continent cavorting with alabaster nymphs and marble goddesses (so to speak), when he's informed that a ducal title awaits him back in England. The same family who disowned Finn's father now needs an heir to prevent all their wealth from falling into Crown's greedy hands.n n nn n...She'd rather he did too.n nWilhelmina Cathcart is the widow of the previous ducal heir, and she has no patience with fledgling peers who come grumbling to their honors. Mina has a daughter to raise, meddling family to manage, and no time to explain Mayfair society to a stubborn, backward, contrary duke...

even if he is charming and a good listener. Mina and Finn are on the point of admitting a powerful attraction when an enemy close at hand threatens to ruin their hope of a happily ever after. They will have to work together, and put aside both well earned pride and treasured prejudices, if their shared dream is to bloom into a shared future.n
