A dour duke. A wistful wallflower. An impossible match. Jules, Sixth Duke of Dandridge disdains Society and all its trappings, preferring the country’s solitude and peace. Already jaded after the woman he loved died years ago, he’s become even more so since unexpectedly inheriting a dukedom’s responsibilities and finding himself the target of every husband-hunting vixen and matchmaker mother in London. Jemmah Dament has adored Jules from afar for years—since before her family’s financial and social reversals. She dares not dream she can win a duke’s heart any more than she hopes to escape the life of servitude imposed on her by an uncaring mother. Jemmah knows full well Jules is too far above her station now. Besides, his family has already selected his perfect duchess: a poised, polished, exquisite blueblood. A chance encounter reunites Jules and Jemmah, resulting in a passionate interlude neither can forget. Jules realizes he wants more—much more—than Jemmah’s sweet kisses or her warming his bed. He must somehow convince her to gamble on a dour duke. But can Jemmah trust a man promised to another? One who’s sworn never to love again? ________________________________________________________________________________________________ This charming Cinderella-like Regency historical by a USA Today bestselling author will make you smile, laugh, and sigh with contentment as you witness the sweet and tender love blossoming between Jules and Jemmah.

The plot, the characters, and the thinking that went into it." ★★★★★ ~ K Hudecek Dearest Reader!   A DIAMOND FOR A DUKE is my 17th novel and the first in my Dukes Come Calling (Seductive Scoundrels) Series.    I had so much fun writing Jules and Jemmah's story that I created a new series featuring dashing rakes and devilish rogues and the intrepid women who capture their hearts.    As with all my stories, you'll find bits of humor sprinkled throughout, but unlike my other books, A DIAMOND FOR A DUKE is not only based on a fairy tale, Diamonds and Toads, but there is also a darker element present.   Still, I'm hopeful you will find Jemmah and Jule's story enchanting, and I think you'll find some of the secondary characters intriguing enough that you'll want to read their stories too.  xoxo Collette Discover the enchanting world of Collette Cameron's Regency and Scottish Highlander romances!
