false <![CDATA[A Duke of Her Own (Desperate Duchesses, #6)]]> http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1239091512m/6049962.jpg 6049962 1 Leopold Dautry, the notorious Duke of Villiers, must wed quickly and nobly—and his choices, alas, are few. The Duke of Montague’s daughter, Eleanor, is exquisitely beautiful and fiercely intelligent. Villiers betroths himself to her without further ado. After all, no other woman really qualifies. Especially not Lisette, the outspoken daughter of the Duke of Gilner, cares nothing for clothing or decorum. She’s engaged to another man, and doesn’t give a fig for status or title. Half the ton believes Lisette mad—and Villiers is inclined to agree. Torn between logic and passion, between intelligence and the imagination, Villiers finds himself drawn to the very edge of impropriety. But it is not until he’s in a duel to the death, fighting for the reputation of the woman he loves, that Villiers finally realizes that the greatest risk may not be in the dueling field… But in the bedroom. And the heart. 6225596 book 28 7 2009 A Duke of Her Own total:195|5:85|4:71|3:31|2:5|1:3| 195 815 330 55 4 3 false false Thu Oct 08 09:11:44 -0700 2009 Thu Oct 08 09:34:04 -0700 2009 Lynne Connolly's Richard and Rose series has whetted my appetite again for historical romance and I had read a pretty good review of this book.
