New from the Wayward Dukes Alliance

Dear friend,

The Wayward Dukes Alliance just got two glorious new additions, both written by author friends I adore, and I cannot let this week pass without telling you about them.

If you don’t already know the premise: a brotherhood of dukes who have sworn off marriage, scattered across dozens of interconnected standalone stories by different authors, each one daring enough to be the duke who finally breaks the pact. And this week, two of my favorite people in this community added their names to the alliance.

The One With the Duke’s Wayward Ways by Eliana Piers

A bookish spinster with a secret list of husbandly requirements. A rakish duke with a scandalous past. And one pink leatherbound book that changes everything.

Prudence Hawthorne has always lived in her head — content with novels, facts, and carefully ordered lists of what makes a suitable husband. Love, passion, and scandal were never part of the plan. But when she trips, quite literally, into the path of the wickedly charming Duke of Penmore, her tidy world collides with temptation, especially when he catches her red-handed with a book that leaves her cheeks burning. Soren Trevelyan is London’s favorite rake, never tempted by logic or librarians, until Prudence. Grumpy meets sunshine. Forbidden library encounters. A bargain neither of them should have made.

How To Compromise A Duke by Mihwa Lee

She’ll turn a scandal into a happily ever after, whether anyone approves of it or not.

Lady Adeline Linton has already weathered one family scandal and refused to crumble beneath another. When London’s most rakish young duke boasts of compromising her virtue in White’s betting book, Adeline shocks the entire ton by refusing to deny it. If he wants to drag her reputation through the mud for sport, she will drag him straight to the altar in return. An enemies-to-lovers, marriage-of-convenience story with a heroine who refuses to play victim and a hero who did not expect a convenient bride to thaw three years of carefully maintained ice.

These are only the beginning. Stay close, because every week brings another novella from this alliance, another duke, another woman who absolutely refuses to be tamed by him. I will keep bringing you the very best of them as they land.
