A Duke, Love & Sunshine
About this ebook
A duke who can’t seem to ignore his attraction to the lady.
Together they uncover their heart’s desire.
Miss Iona Richards wants one thing in life—to be an independent woman. Her dream is to become a highly reputable landscape architect and create masterpieces that will live on for generations. Thus, she dares to embark on an adventure, leaving her family behind to travel to Burnham-On-Sea where she joins the Seaside Society of Spinsters. The ladies at the boarding house are champions of ladies who wish to eschew the strictures placed upon society and will do their best to help her succeed in her goals. When she is met with opposition from a prospective client, the Duke of Rosewood, she is convinced that if he will just give a woman a chance, she can make his cottage retreat an artistic example of her talents. When she finally gains the opportunity, she has no idea that her heart is the one in danger of change.
Thorpe Covington, the Duke of Rosewood, finds more than just Miss Richards’ prints of his gardens to his liking. But he finds that this fierce, gently bred woman is more concerned with digging in the soil than marriage, and at first that seems like an ideal arrangement. But as their attraction begins to develop, he finds himself wanting more from the lady. Knowing that she would never give him anything but one night, he tells himself that is enough. The problem is that he could very well be wrong.

About the author
Tabetha Waite is a small town Missouri girl, born and bred. She grew up with big dreams of being a published author after her fourth grade teacher said she liked reading her stories. She began her journey by putting pen to paper writing anything from fantasy to mystery, and then graduated to an old Underwood typewriter. It wasn’t until she started high school that her grandmother introduced her to the classic, Gothic novels. As her love of romance grew to encompass Harlequins, it wasn’t until she read “Midnight Bride” by Kathleen Drymon that she developed a fascination for historical England. After discovering the allure of Jane Austen and the Bronte sisters, she was hooked!
It wasn’t until 30 years and 63 rejections later that her debut novel, “Why the Earl is After the Girl,” the first book in her Ways of Love series was picked up for publication by Etopia Press and released in July of 2016 to critical acclaim. Since then, she has become a hybrid author with books previously released with Soul Mate Publishing, WOLF Publishing, and Dragonblade Publishing, as well as transitioning into Indie. She has won several awards for her books and has been an Amazon bestseller.
When she’s not writing, Tabetha is reading as true bookworms do, or checking out any flea market, antique mall, or doll show she comes across.
You can find her on most any social media site and she encourages fans of her work to join her mailing list to learn more about upcoming novels or events.
