MUCH ADO ABOUT A DUKE

From bestselling author Jane Ashford comes another brand new five-book series of sparkling Regency Romance!

James Cantrell, the new Duke of Tereford, has inherited a dukedom in disarray, and he is overwhelmed by the many responsibilities falling upon him. Then he gets an idea. Cecelia Vainsmede served as a communication conduit between James and her father, his trustee, after the two men found they simply could not get along. Cecelia knows a great deal about estate management and business matters, his own in particular. She's also quite pretty. He suggests that Cecelia might want to marry him.
James is convinced that he can persuade her eventually, and he sets out to do so. He is rather accustomed to getting his own way. But then a German prince arrives in London and shows a marked interest in Cecelia. Suddenly, she is not just another young lady. She is a sought after belle! It's dizzying for her, and disconcerting for James.
The changed situation leads James to behave badly and embarrass himself before the ton. He retreats in consternation and sulks a bit, then finds himself reviewing his approach to life. Finding his hideaway, Cecelia urges him to return to society. He refuses. Until Cecelia needs his help. Then James steps up, proves himself a changed man.
