What to Read After The Duke Is Mine by Eloisa James

The Duke Is Mine by Eloisa James is a witty Regency historical romance in which Olivia Lytton’s arranged engagement to the Duke of Canterwick collides with her growing feelings for Tarquin, the Duke of Sconce, making love versus duty the central engine.
