Regency-era England may be a man's world, but a lady boss is about to
show them how it's done . . .
In the newest of her witty, Regency-set, feminist romances exploring the
roles of women in a rigidly patriarchal society, acclaimed author
Minerva Spencer hits the mark with expert sharpshooter, London circus
attraction, and French expat Cecile Tremblay. A new generation of
readers and Bridgerton fans will delight in the rapier sharp wit,
sexual fireworks, and thought-provoking entertainment of The Dueling
Duchess.
When Cecile Tremblay lost everyone and everything in the French
Revolution, she never imagined that she'd earn her living as a
markswoman in a London circus. But Farnham's Fantastical Female Fayre
has become her home, her family, and her future. Another thing Cecile
never imagined was becoming entangled with the man gossip columns call
The Darling of the Ton. But mere weeks after her rejection of his
insulting carte blanche--and his infuriating engagement to an
heiress--Darlington is back, this time to beg Cecile for help. And help
him she will, by teaching him about honest work--and the right way to
treat a woman.
Gaius Darlington has always led a charmed life. Until now. Suddenly, a
long-lost heir has appeared to claim his title, possessions, and
property, Not only that, but Guy's fiancée has jilted him to marry the
usurper! Yet there is a silver lining: it's no longer Guy's duty to
marry an heiress to save the dukedom. He's free to wed the woman he
loves--if only he can earn her forgiveness.
They say hell hath no fury like a woman scorned. But fury is just a step
away from passion, and Guy knows just how to arouse Cecile's. . .
