"...a steamy Regency romance with an engaging opposites-attract plot." - Library Journal His Grace or disgrace? She can’t have both! Dowager Countess Barbara’s two unhappy marriages taught her one lesson—never, ever again! To stop her ambitious father marrying her off once more, she’ll do anything. Even ruin herself so thoroughly that no groom will have her! And the quickest way to do that? Secure the disapproval of Xavier, Duke of Derbridge. He’s enormously influential and infamously straitlaced. If only winning his censure wasn’t quite so fun, and his looks weren’t quite so intoxicating… Barbara’s steely resolve soon wavers. Because successfully disgracing herself would mean alienating the infuriatingly upright duke she craves—forever! From Harlequin Historical: Your romantic escape to the past. ' Lethbridge presents a steamy Regency romance with an engaging opposites-attract plot .' - Library Journal Review Ann Lethbridge majored in history and business. She always loved the glamorous, if rather risky, Georgians and in particular the Regency era as drawn by Georgette Heyer. It was that love that prompted her to write her first Regency novel in 2000. She found she enjoyed it so much she just couldn’t stop! Ann gave up a career in university administration to focus on her first love, writing novels and lives in Canada with her family.
