The Duke and Miss Denny — Joy Reed

THE DUKE
Some might disapprove, given the difference in rank, but the Duke of Ashland was charmed by Miss Judith Denny's beauty, serenity, and quiet reserve. How refreshing to meet a young lady who refrained from throwing her cap at him. Whether dancing with Miss Denny at Almack's or enjoying a Venetian breakfast with her, Ashland found himself to be completely captivated.

AND HIS DARLING
But Miss Denny believed his grace to be far beyond her touch and vowed to govern her heart, little knowing that her seeming indifference would only fan the flames of the duke's ardor. Between Judith's natural modesty and the ladies of the ton who were after Ashland's title, these two willful hearts were caught up in a reckless and whimsical game that could only be called love!

Hero: James Montfort, the Duke of Ashland
Heroine: Miss Judith Denny
