Very cute.
The Duke's Perfect Wife by Jennifer Ashley
I adore Ashley's Mackenzie series, and Hart's book didn't disappoint. All her heroes are dark, sexy, powerful, and very wounded alpha males who need the love of a good woman to turn them right. What's not to love!
How to Dance with a Duke by Manda Collins
Charming, with a truly engaging hero and heroine. I love a bit of mystery in my historicals, so this debut fits the bill nicely. Well done!

Ed Rambeau Thanks for accepting my friend request, Vanessa. You seem like an interesting person, as well as quite the prolific author, so feel free to tell me more about yourself. I, myself, am a singer/songwriter/actor who has recently turned author. My 2 top ten recordings were CONCRETE & CLAY (as a singer) and NAVY BLUE (as a writer)...both in the early 1960's. My first novel is an unusual murder mystery entitled: FORBIDDEN STEPS.

Regards, and have a great day, Ed
