For the next nine years she cavorted abroad, creating one delicious scandal after another (if one is to believe the rumors). Elijah, Duke of Beaumont, did believe those rumors. But the handsome duke needs an heir, so he summons his seductive wife home. Jemma laughs at Elijah’s cool eyes and icy heart—but to her secret shock, she doesn’t share his feelings. In fact, she wants the impossible: her husband’s heart at her feet. But what manner of seduction will make a man fall desperately in love…with his own wife? 5914609 book 1 6 2009 This Duchess of Mine total:234|5:67|4:86|3:66|2:10|1:5| 234 902 354 50 4 5 false false Thu Mar 19 13:05:26 -0700 2009 Wed May 27 11:46:07 -0700 2009
