The Sainted Duchess by Hazel Linwood

“You meant to trap a husband, but you got the wrong room, love. You got a rake instead…”

After years in a monastery, Maria must face the merciless high society. But with her past and her figure, she’s nowhere near finding the match she’s so desperate for. Unless… she traps a man into marriage.
With his reputation, Duke Stephen never expected to find a lady hiding in his room. Let alone one intent on trapping another man and ending up in the wrong bedchamber…
So he makes a dangerous bargain: he’ll make her irresistible within a week. Yet the closer he gets to her, his sense of duty turns into something far more dangerous. Until he’s about to break his vow and propose to her himself…

*If you like powerful Dukes, loving Duchesses and a marvelous depiction of the majestic Regency and Victorian era, then The Sainted Duchess is the novel for you.
