The Irish Duchess

Duke meets shrew. Taming doesn’t happen.

Neville Perceval, the bankrupt Duke of Anglesey, finally accepts that he needs to marry a wealthy, gracious lady who will ease his financial burdens and smooth his political path. Before he can seek this paragon, he’s thrown into the path of the rebellious, untamed cousin of an Irish earl.

Fiona MacDermot needs cash to help the starving villagers and orphans left by the long-lost earl. Not trusting another lying aristocrat, she’d rather start her own mill than ask for help.

But when the duke is nearly beaten to death on her doorstep, and Fiona’s looms are lost to a murdering thief, their lives are entangled in ways that threaten their futures. Lust shouldn’t factor into their destinies, but it does, and now they have to find their dreams together, or die trying.
