Scandal, dukes, and the sparkle of a London Season await you in the latest Dukes' Secret Novel from USA TODAY bestseller Eva Devon...

A lady who loves to make mischief...
Miss Penelope Finley is about to have her first London Season... A Season she never expected. Growing up wild in the country, she's used to being free to do as she pleases. But circumstances suddenly change, and now she's about to be launched upon society with the necessity of finding a husband. There's just one problem: the Duke of Royland. He's an infuriating man who absolutely drives her mad—mad with passion, too. One kiss in the garden leads her down a path where she must ask: Is the passion worth the price?

A Duke destined to be lonely...
The Duke of Royand is infamous for loving a good time. A rake to his core, he adores the ladies, and he always shows them a marvelous time. After all, he knows he will never fall madly, passionately in love. Not as his mother did. He has no intention of suffering that same miserable fate. Until he meets Miss Penelope Finley. She is wild, bold, and entrancing. When she makes a scandalous offer, he can't resist. When the dawn finally comes, will he let her go... Or will he take a chance on love?

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Miss Penelope Finley is thoroughly enjoying her London season. It's something she never expected to have. A recent change in the direction of her life (thanks to her cousin and best friend) means a new adventure for her. Normally she is happy with her books or writing, but is always keen to try something new.

Rafe, the Duke of Royand has been watching his best friends and fellow Dukes fall in love and get married but knows that can't be for him. He has a huge secret that nobody can know about. No matter what he feels, he can't sentence anyone to life with him.

There is lots of fun to be had with our naughty heroine. The normal rules don't matter to her. There is a little danger in the background, and of course our hero's big secret.

This is part of a series but each book can be read on it's own. I have enjoyed all of them.

A delicious romance filled with ballrooms, passion, dukes, and deceit await you in Eva Devon's The Duke You Know.

A lady made notorious

As a child, Lady Persephone Blakeney witnessed first-hand the dangers of a bad marriage. Despite that tragic past, she's blossomed into an independent, wild young woman, content in her unmarried state. Then one day she meets the wife hunting Duke of Drake; a man with a dark past of his own. Sparks and passions immediately fly. She knows better than to fall preys to the danger of marriage…but what about passion outside of marriage.

A duke with a ruinous secret

The Duke of Drake has never known love. Only passion and hate. Despised by his parents for a childhood stutter, he is determined to give a child the life and love he never had. Clever and clearly passionate, Lady Persephone seems the perfect choice. But a secret shadows his life and she has declared no interest in marriage. Can he give into the passion she so desires without taking her to wife?

When Percy finds her fortunes turn, she must consider a fate she'd long disavowed. A single proposition and one soul searing kiss will change everything. But can it lead to love, or will the Duke's secret destroy them?

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Because his parents saw him as defective Damian Avonby was bullied all of his young life. It wasn't until he served in the war and became the Duke of Drake that he even made friends. His friends are all Dukes like him and they met at war. They are the only ones he can trust. Some of them have recently married and he has decided that's what he wants.

Lady Persephone Blakeney has borne the brunt of her mother's actions since she was a child. It wasn't until the death of her father when she moved in with her uncle and cousin that she remembered that life is for living. She is happy in the countryside with the flowers and wildlife.

Two unloved people who believe they are happy alone find out that family life can be happy.

A sweet romance with lovely characters. It's obviously part of a series but I've not read the others, Yet.

A very enjoyable read.
