Always the bridesmaid and never the bride - but not if the Duke of Axwick has anything to do with it…

Miss Tabitha Chesworth is walking down the aisle for the third time, but never as the bride. Frustrated with being passed over, there's nothing that a well-born lady can do about it. But at four and twenty, she's starting to worry that this is her lot in life - until a fiery encounter with the Duke of Axwick.

Richard St Maur, sixteenth in his line, has sworn an oath never to marry. He's seen the damage of the male Axwick line, and he won't bring another gambler or drunkard into the world. Of course, that doesn't mean he can't have a little fun and there's no one he'd like to play with more than Miss Tabitha Chesworth. He's determined to have her. She's determined to hold out until a ring is on her finger. Sparks fly as this repeat bridesmaid takes on one of the most determined men of the ton.

Whose offer will eventually be accepted? Will the Duke of Axwick find his way into Tabitha's bed - or her heart?

This full length novel is a steamy Regency romance with a happily ever after, no cliffhangers, and is part of a series that can be read in any order. Read for Free with Kindle Unlimited!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Miss Tabitha Chesworth is very happy for her bestfriend's marriage,  but being the bridesmaid for the third time seems to prove the proverb true.

She is in that strange place in society.  Not noble enough for the titled gentlemen and too rich (now) to be allowed to marry a tradesman.  

Richard St. Maur, the Duke of Axwick knows his bloodline is cursed.  All the men in his family have been gamblers and mean drunks.  There is no way he can allow the name to continue.  He must pay off all the debts.  Women are only for his enjoyment.  

This is a lovely story with great characters.  Our heroine is sensible and determined,  but sometimes hears what she wants to hear.  Our hero has a one track mind and can't be detered from his course.  

Lots of fun.
