In the search for family and love, two souls from different worlds collide in the heart of Victorian London. Will society's judgments and family secrets tear them apart or bind them together?

Forced to leave the girls' school where she has spent the past six years as an orphan, Christelle Clement tries to find work in Paris. When her mother’s reputation as a high-paid courtesan precedes her, Christelle decides to go to England in search of the father she has never met.

A humble gentleman, Dr. Seamus Craig is in search of a wife who can provide him with the family he longs for. He moves his practice to London, but finds the long hours and constraints of Polite Society make it difficult to meet ladies.

An accident brings Christelle and Seamus together, but will their romance withstand the reality of her father 's identity? Will his family accept her?

"If you're a fan of Jane Austen novels, you will fall in love with Duke of Knight. Author Elizabeth Johns' historical fiction romance/drama is filled with wit, humor, and heart. The narrative flows smoothly, and the plot has its share of twists to keep you glued to the pages. The characters are well-realized with lively personalities to make them pop out of the pages."—Readers' Favorite
