Alderworth, and as Lucinda's husband. Against her elder
brothers' wishes Lucinda moves to the duke's estate, and
wishes to learn about the man she is married to. Soon

their love for each other or will Lucinda stay the forgotten
bride forever?
THE DISSOLUTE DUKE is tragic and sad, yet warm and joyful.
This combination makes THE DISSOLUTE DUKE an intriguing
adventure, and readers will be curious about the unusual

he is forgiving. Lucinda is caring, but lonely, and only
wants to be loved. These two characters will melt a reader's
heart and they will find themselves eager for these two to
have a happy ending. Sophia James has created a satisfying
plot, and THE DISSOLUTE DUKE is a creative must read.
With a name synonymous with sin and debauchery so shocking
it is spoken of only in whispers, Taylen Ellesmere, Duke of
Alderworth, is more surprised than anyone when he finds
himself forced to marry! Before the ink is dry on the
register, he turns his back on this sham of a marriage and
leaves.
Three years later, having barely survived the scandal, Lady
Lucinda has placed one delicately shod foot back in the
hallowed halls of the ton when her husband returns. He has
an offer she can't refuse. And in exchange? Their wedding
night!
