Description

The unexpected duchess

Archibald Salisbury, son of a viscount, war hero, and proficient in the proper ways of aristocratic society, has received orders for his most challenging mission: Genevieve, Duchess of Blakesley. How she inherited a duchy isn’t his problem. Turning her into a perfect duchess is. But how can he keep his mind on business when her beauty entices him toward pleasure?

It was impossible, unprecedented…and undeniably true. Genevieve is now a “duke”, or, rather, a duchess. So what is she to do when the ton eyes her every move, hoping she’ll make a mistake? Genevieve knows she has brains and has sometimes been told she has beauty, but, out of her depth, she calls on an expert. And what an expert, with shoulders broad enough to lean on, and a wit that matches her own. Archie is supposed to teach her to be a lady and run her estate, but what she really wants to do is unladylike—run into his arms.

Reviews

“Ms. Frampton brings humorous charm and seasoned class to a scenario done many times. My Fair Duchess is a twist on an old gem that develops a life of it’s own...what ensues is ultimate chaos with irresistible heart. Another classic in the making.” — Night Owl Reviews

“Frampton bases her novel on an actual law that allowed a woman to inherit a dukedom. And the My Fair Lady premise allows this talented writer to craft a delightful, sometimes humorous, sometimes highly poignant and always powerful romance.” — RT Book Reviews

“My Fair Duchess, Frampton’s marvelously clever riff on Pygmalion and the latest in her Dukes Behaving Badly series, following Why do Dukes Fall in Love (2016), is another captivating symphony of scintillating wit and sophisticated sensuality brilliantly conducted by an author writing at the top of her game.” — Booklist (starred review)
