Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

A laugh-out-loud forced-proximity Regency Romance, featuring a roguish smuggler in desperate need of a governess, a clever French spinster determined to earn her freedom, and a cozy holiday household where keeping a professional distance proves entirely impossible.Single father and confirmed bachelor Jack Skeffington is the mastermind behind an international smuggling ring, yet unable to control his rambunctious ten-year-old twins. What he needs is a stern, experienced, no-nonsense governess. What he gets is his business partner's untouchable sister, whose delectable body Jack yearns to pull close.Mademoiselle Désirée le Duc cannot wait to return to France and regain her lost vineyard. But to do so, she must repay crippling debt. Determined to buy freedom, she accepts temporary employment from an Englishman with a wicked smile and a big... wine cellar. His kisses taste like heaven and his arms feel like home. How can she choose between two families separated by the sea?Warm, witty, and wonderfully chaotic, The Duke's Bride is Regency Christmas romance for readers who love a roguish hero with a soft spot for his children - and a heroine torn between the life she planned and the one she never saw coming.
