About this ebook

When an ambitious entrepreneur pretends to be a lady of means, she catches the eye—and heart—of a duke...

Jessica McGale’s family business desperately needs investors and she’s determined to succeed at any cost. But she knows London’s elite will never look twice at a humble farm girl like herself. Posing as “Lady Whitfield,” however, places her in the orbit of wealthy, powerful people—most notably the Duke of Rotherby. His influence and support could save her company, but Jess never expected the effect he’d have on her.

Society thinks Noel is a notorious, carefree duke who dabbles in investments, but there’s a side to him that only his closest friends see. When he crosses paths with Lady Whitfield at a business bazaar, his world tilts on its axis. She’s brilliant and compelling, and brings him to his knees like no woman has before. Trust is difficult for Noel, but Jess makes him believe anything is possible. . .

As time ticks down on her Cinderella scheme, the thought of achieving her goal at Noel’s expense breaks Jess’s heart. He doesn’t just want her now, he wants her forever. But will her secret end their future before it begins?

Meet the Union of the Rakes—Eva Leigh's latest Regency romance series inspired by the Breakfast Club and other classic 80s films!

Would I Lie To The Duke is a phenomenal historical romance by Eva Leigh. Ms. Leigh has given readers a well-written book. The characters are fun and entertaining. Jessica is from a farm that makes soap to support the family. When their soap making screeches to a halt due to a fire she takes a job as companion to a countess. She finds herself in London without her employer for two weeks and masquerades as a lady of the ton to try to get backing to rebuild the family business. Noel is a Duke handles his own investments. Jessica and Noel's story is loaded with drama, humor, lies, sizzle and just a little suspense. I enjoyed this book and look forward to reading more from Eva Leigh soon. Would I Lie To The Duke is book 2 of the Union of the Rakes Series but can easily be read as a standalone. This is a complete book, not a cliff-hanger. I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book that I received from NetGalley. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

I really enjoyed this romance and in some ways felt it had a refreshing twist to it. That being said, I'm not sure if you are a true-blue historical fan that this book is going to work for you. If you are willing to have an open mind and not be obsessive about the historical accuracy, I think you will find this steamy read quite fun. Jess and Noel made quite the pair. Jess was so fierce, spunky and determined. I could sympathize with her loyalty to her family and her desire to do what she had to do to help them and their business. As for Noel, I found him a delightful blend of surprising contrasts. He was funny and charming. Trust me when I say that these two generate enough heat to add to global warming!!! Things get blazing hot when these two come together. This is my candid, volitional review.
