The Duke Hunt

New York Times bestselling author Sophie Jordan begins the all new The Duke Hunt series with the illegitimate son of a duke who meets his match in the daring daughter of a vicar. The Bastard Rogue... Peregrine Butler's privileged blue-blooded world is rocked to the core when it is revealed he was born before his parents' marriage and therefore is not the legal heir to the dukedom. Now as poor as the proverbial church mouse, Perry must use his charm and good looks to win an heiress and save himself from wretched penury-all the while ignoring his fascination with the interfering and alluring chit who is intent on sabotaging his efforts. The Lady Vicar... Everyone knows Imogen Bates, the virtuous daughter of the senile vicar. It is she who writes the sermons, and she everyone sees about all matters spiritual and domestic. A pillar of the community, she will protect her beloved Shropshire from all rogues, starting with the worst offender: the erstwhile Duke of Penning, the bane of her existence since childhood. She vows to protect the local heiresses from being taken in by the silver-tongued fortune hunter because it's the right thing to do ... certainly not because she finds herself wanting to keep his heated glances and tempting kisses all to herself.

From one of the best-known names in historical romance, New York Times bestselling author Sabrina Jeffries, comes the second in her dazzling Designing Debutantes series featuring a talk-of-the-ton trio of young women who've eschewed working as governesses to utilize their talents for fashion, food, and music, by running their own party planning enterprise, Elegant Occasions. And if they, and their wealthy clients, happen to find love along the way, it just makes their efforts all the more rewarding!

A youthful widow, Eliza Pierce is enjoying both freedom and financial success as part of Elegant Occasions. Then her late husband's best friend, Nathaniel Stanton, the Earl of Foxstead, hires Elegant Occasions to help another young widow of an officer become part of high society, and Eliza wonders why. Is the woman a relative? Or is she the earl's mistress and her adorable toddler his child? If so, why does he take Eliza in his arms every chance he gets . . .

Foxstead's family situation makes it difficult for him to marry, so his visceral attraction to Lieutenant Pierce's widow is an unwelcome complication. Sworn to secrecy concerning his friend's life in the army, Foxstead is trying to honor the man's last wishes, even when it means being around Eliza every day. But how can he resist when the fetching Eliza keeps tempting him to break his own rules? For if he dares to expose the truth, will she ever forgive him? Or will she banish him from her life forever . . .

Gripping and Heartbreaking French Historical Fiction

She plucks a perfectly ripe grape, glowing golden in the moonlight. In that moment she knows her life will be full of joy and sorrow: harvest feasts and heartbreak, the thrill of the season's first sip and the bitter threat of betrayal. But if her success could taste this sweet, she would have it no other way. France, 1805. In the sleepy town of Reims, recently widowed Nicole Clicquot is struggling to run her winemaking business alone. Her rival and owner of the largest vineyard in Champagne, calculating Monsieur Moët, is sure she'll accept his offer of marriage. But one look at her little daughter running happily through the vines that could one day be hers, and Nicole knows she could never share her late husband's legacy. Taking courage from the chalk soil beneath her boots, and the heat of the soft French sun, Nicole vows to save the vineyard herself by making the best champagne the world has ever tasted. But toiling over the harvest day and night and the constant disapproval of her gossiping neighbours take their toll on Nicole. Only her husband's oldest friend, Louis, believes she can do this alone. One magical night, as a shooting star illuminates their way under a velvet sky, Nicole gazes up at his warm smile and wonders if, with Louis by her side, her champagne would taste even finer... because isn't the best wine made with love? Then Moët, still bitter over Nicole's rejection, discovers her secret method of making crystal-clear champagne, and the House of Clicquot could lose everything. Did Louis betray her trust, and was she wrong to open her heart again? And with Napoleon's wars looming on the horizon, can she save her vineyards, and her daughter, from ruin? Fans of Chocolat, Carnegie's Maid, Dinah Jeffries and anyone longing to sip champagne under the stars will adore this stunning historical read, inspired by the true story of how Nicole Clicquot blazed her own path to build the world's greatest champagne house: Veuve Clicquot.
