About this ebook

#1 National Bestselling Regency Romance! If you love the Bridgertons, you will love the Kents...


He's a rake accused of murder. She's the spinster accusing him. Enemies make the hottest lovers. 


"Readers looking for a good historical mystery/romance or a historical with a little more kink will enjoy The Duke Who Knew Too Much." -Smart Bitches, Trashy Books 


"Amazing, spicy, entertaining, tense story, I loved every second." -Rady Reads 


A Stranger to Love 

Alaric McLeod, Duke of Strathaven, is known as the Devil Duke for his wicked ways. Tormented by his past, Alaric knows better than to trust a woman yet finds himself ensnared by a spirited, virtuous virgin—who accuses him of a crime he didn’t commit. Is she his worst nightmare ... or his salvation?


A Novice to Desire 

Emma Kent is an independent country miss cast adrift in the ton. When a depraved encounter with an arrogant rake lands her in intrigue, Emma’s honor compels her to do the right thing. But desire challenges her quest for justice, and she must decide: can she trust her heart to discover the truth? 


Bound by Passion and Peril 

Alaric and Emma engage in a battle of wits and will. As their attraction flares, the true enemy stalks their every move. With danger looming, will they solve the mystery and find true love before it’s too late?


"Has everything that makes a tale excellent; a headstrong lovely heroine, a damaged too serious hero, a rowdy bunch of loving family members that are living and close and then the amazing adventure to peel back like an onion to find the many layers of the plot. This writer to me is in the leagues of Johanna Lindsey, Lisa Kleypas, Julia Quinn and Amanda Quick.” -Kathie, Amazon


Grace's books feature steamy historical romance, fun and feel-good happily ever afters, and intriguing mystery and adventure. This book can be enjoyed as a stand-alone novel and as a part of Grace's interconnected series all set in the same universe.

I really enjoyed this book though the modern sex talk always broke my enjoyment a bit. but just skip ahead a couple pages and you'll be fine. The disposal of the last 'bad guy' was rushed. besides those two things~~ good book 👍

Loved the steamy side of this story. The Duke of Strathmore is restless at being confined to the home of his colleague and under suspicion as a spy, so he turn his attention to the sister of his host. The chemistry is very hot between these two and it makes for a very enjoyable read.

Loved it. I get so tried of the same 4 discriptive words. this book was actualy kind of hot. definitely not your Grandma's harlequin romance. if you liked "Fifty Shades of Grey" this is for you. keep us up the good work-your a breath of fresh air in a pretty repiticious genre.
