Prolog Bisik-bisik beredar di kalangan Mrs. Upton’s Academy for Young Ladies tak lama setelah waktu minum teh. Seorang murid baru telah tiba, dan dia pasti berasal dari keluarga terkemuka dan kaya raya. Salah seorang gadis sempat melihat sekilas kereta kuda yang menunggu di luar, hitam mengkilap dengan perisai berlukisan sebuah lambang di pintunya, dan desas-desus itu segera menghangat: itu pasti putri seorang duke yang manja, atau bahkan seorang putri dari negeri lain. Mereka salah. Sophie Graham yang berusia dua belas tahun adalah gadis yatim piatu, dan dia adalah cucu Viscount Makepeace, bukan seorang duke maupun pembesar dari luar negeri. Sophie juga tidak ingin dikait-kaitkan dengan sang viscount, dan sebaliknya, begitu pula dengan sang viscount. Seminggu setelah kedatangan Sophie di manor sang viscount yang suram, pria itu menyatakan bahwa gadis itu harus secepatnya masuk sekolah. Kini dia berdiri diam di ruang kantor Mrs. Upton, mendengarkan saat kakeknya mencoba menggertak sang kepala sekolah agar menerima Sophie. Kini dia sebatang kara di dunia, dengan meninggalnya Mama dan Papa, kakeknya yang mengerikan, dan keluarga ibunya yang berjarak satu benua jauhnya. Seingat Sophie dia memiliki satu atau dua paman, dan bahkan mungkin saudara-saudara sepupu di suatu tempat entah di mana, tetapi tak satu pun dari mereka yang akan datang menolongnya. Dia memang tidak memiliki keluarga yang layak dikenal, tapi teman yang setia dan tulus akan menjadi awal yang baik. Dan dia punya firasat kuat bahwa dia, Eliza, dan Georgiana ditakdirkan untuk bersahabat

A lovestruck lady charms the duke of her dreams during an expedition on the high seas in this sexy, swashbuckling novel from USA Today bestselling author Bronwen Evans. Alexander Sylvester Bracken, Duke of Bedford, has a mission: sail to the Mediterranean and track down Lady Hestia Cary’s missing father. It is a straightforward task, but for two rather vexing complications. First, the sea holds painful memories; second, for her own safety, Hestia is to accompany him. As Alex battles the demons of his past, he must also resist Hestia’s surprisingly skillful attempts at seduction. After all, Alex has sworn to leave her untouched, and he intends to honor that vow—until he can properly ask the Earl’s blessing. Ever since His Grace rescued Hestia from the arms of a Turkish pirate six long years ago, her heart has belonged to Alex. So when he agrees to help find her father, Hestia is thrilled. Although Alex tries to hide it, there’s passion in his eyes—and a frisson of desire in the air—whenever they meet. On board ship, miles from home, Alex won’t be able to deny her any longer. But with scoundrels lying in wait, she may not live to tell the tale of her conquest.

“Dunmore is my new find in historical romance. Her A League of Extraordinary Women series is, well, extraordinary.”—Julia Quinn, #1 New York Times bestselling author “With her sterling debut, Evie Dunmore dives into a fresh new space in historical romance that hits all the right notes.”—Entertainment Weekly A stunning debut for author Evie Dunmore and her Oxford suffragists in which a fiercely independent vicar's daughter takes on a powerful duke in a fiery love story that threatens to upend the British social order. England, 1879. Annabelle Archer, the brilliant but destitute daughter of a country vicar, has earned herself a place among the first cohort of female students at the renowned University of Oxford. In return for her scholarship, she must support the rising women's suffrage movement. Her charge: recruit men of influence to champion their cause. Her target: Sebastian Devereux, the cold and calculating Duke of Montgomery who steers Britain's politics at the Queen's command. Her challenge: not to give in to the powerful attraction she can't deny for the man who opposes everything she stands for. Sebastian is appalled to find a suffragist squad has infiltrated his ducal home, but the real threat is his impossible feelings for green-eyed beauty Annabelle. He is looking for a wife of equal standing to secure the legacy he has worked so hard to rebuild, not an outspoken commoner who could never be his duchess. But he wouldn't be the greatest strategist of the Kingdom if he couldn't claim this alluring bluestocking without the promise of a ring...or could he? Locked in a battle with rising passion and a will matching her own, Annabelle will learn just what it takes to topple a duke.... “There is nothing quite so satisfying as seeing such a man brought to his knees by a beautiful woman with nothing to her name except an inviolable sense of her own self-worth.”—NPR
