Since her father disowned her, she’s made her own way in the world and is determined to succeed. Emma had been relying on the money from the wedding dress to keep her afloat. When Emma Gladstone turns up in his library, demanding payment for the dress she made for the fiancée who jilted him, he proposes that she marry him so that he can get the heir he needs. Since then he’s hidden himself away as he recovered from his injuries. The Duke of Ashbury came back from Waterloo a different man. The Duchess Deal is the first in a new series and tells the story a battle scarred duke and his marriage of convenience with a seamstress. I was lucky enough to go to Sarah MacLean’s London tea party back in February and met Tessa Dare there – but it’s taken a little while for her latest book to come to the top of the to-read pile. April’s stats are coming up tomorrow, but first we have another Book of the Week post – and for the second week in a row it’s a historical romance novel that has got the nod.
