The Inconvenient Duchess (Christine Merrill)

This week pick: Merrill, Christine — The Inconvenient Duchess

Miranda imagines that she will end up with a scholarly, much older, country gentleman. Instead, she finds herself marrying the moody duke less than day after she arrives. (READ MORE)

Comment: I really like this author’s writing voice. I’ve enjoyed every one of her Harlequin Historicals that I’ve read. I chose this one because it was the first one I read.
