Mrs. Ambrosia Bloomington is finally free. Widowed and ready for a fresh start, she's set her sights on Mayfair—determined to live life on her own terms, without the shadow of her late husband.
She doesn't expect the maddeningly confident—and disarmingly charming—Frenchman, Mr. Dashwood Beckman, to derail her journey and turn it into an unexpected adventure. Nor does she anticipate his laughter, his warmth… or the sparks that fly between them.
But Dash carries secrets of his own—and Ambrosia won't realize just how big they are until it may be too late.
The Duke that I Lost is Book One in Annabelle Anders' newest Regency series, Scoundrels with Secrets—about six troubled men, bound by one tragic mistake... and the women who just might redeem them.
A shorter version of this book was originally published as Cocky Duke, in 2020.
