The Stolen Duke by Harriet Caves

“I keep imagining how you’d look if I pushed you against the wall, how your lips would part, how your body would arch into me…”

Reclusive Duke Cassian is a mystery. But his hard-won peace shatters when his meddling grandmother installs a ladies’ club in his home… with the help of one maddening, sharp-tongued woman.
A sworn bluestocking, Lady Isabella has no intention of marrying. The dowager’s club offers the perfect reprieve from the Season. Except the lady’s brooding grandson keeps interfering.
Cassian vows to resist her. But the little hellion defies him at every turn, and before long, Isabella has stolen not just his mind…but his heart, too.

*If you like a realistic yet steamy depiction of the Regency and Victorian era, then The Stolen Duke is the novel for you.
