New York Times bestselling author Sabrina Jeffries
said she feels like a kid at Christmas thanks to the
overwhelmingly positive response to the release of her new
Regency–era romance series about a missing person's
agency. The launch book, WHAT THE
DUKE DESIRES, came out June 18 and was met with rave
reviews from critics and readers alike.
A few of the characters from WHAT THE
DUKE DESIRES first appeared in the author's holiday
hardcover novel, 'TWAS NIGHT AFTER CHRISTMAS. This month,
one lucky winner will take home a copy of 'TWAS THE
NIGHT AFTER CHRISTMAS and the Christmas Company
Highland Dancer and Highland Piper ornaments as part of a
special Christmas in July prize package.
Maximilian Cale, the Duke of Lyons, accepted long ago
that his kidnapped brother was dead. When a cryptic note
from investigator Tristan Bonnaud claims otherwise, Max
seeks out Tristan's sister, Lisette—and is infuriated
to learn that Tristan has also mysteriously vanished. Have
the siblings perpetrated an elaborate hoax? Or is the
fiercely protective beauty as innocent as she claims them
to be?
Fearful that the powerful duke will destroy Tristan's
career in his zeal for the truth, the clever Lisette
convinces Max to accompany her to Paris in a joint search
for their loved ones. But their journey takes a seductive
twist when they pose as an ordinary husband and
wife—not an English duke with a tarnished family name
and the illegitimate daughter of a viscount—and
discover an exhilarating passion free from the damning
secrets of the past. With the line between danger and
desire enticingly blurred, they discover that some
mysteries, like those of the heart, are answered tenfold in
the bliss of a true and trusting love.
"The first of the Duke's Men series offers fans a totally
engaging, adventurous love story, dovetailing with the
Hellions of Halstead Hall series and delighting readers
with a strong plot, steamy desire and an oh–so
wonderful ending."
—RT Book Reviews, 4½ stars, Top Pick
"This unusual tale of interlocking mysteries is full of all
the intriguing characters, brisk plotting, and witty
dialogue that Jeffries's readers have come to expect."
—Publishers Weekly, starred review
