A spirited lady. A duke in disguise. A most compromising situation.

Lucy Bell has a plan: confront the arrogant nobleman who caused her to be expelled from school—and give him a piece of her mind. But fate has other ideas. One storm, a runaway gig, and a dangerously handsome gardener later, Lucy finds herself thoroughly off course… and thoroughly compromised.

Henry, Duke of Ashmore, has no intention of falling for a trouble-prone young lady with unruly curls and even more unruly opinions. Especially not while he’s posing as a humble gardener. But Lucy is impossible to ignore—and even harder to resist.

When Lucy discovers the truth, sparks fly. From mistaken identities to unladylike scrapes, it’s a merry masquerade of secrets and scandal. But when the past catches up, Lucy must choose: protect those she loves—or risk everything for the duke who holds her heart.

If you love cheeky heroines, witty banter, and swoony slow-burn romance, you’ll adore Lucy and the Duke of Secrets.

A sweet and clean Regency romp, perfect for fans of wholesome historical romance with heart. Book 1 of the Wishing Well series, where each book is a standalone and can be read on its own.

Editorial Reviews

"A Regency-era Bridget Jones." -Amanda K, reviewer on Amazon

"FINALLY! A book that was TRULY in the style of Georgette Heyer! She would have been proud!" - Janie, reviewer on Amazon

"Lucy Bell is one of the most endearing characters of the Regency genre I've had the delight of encountering. Her irrepressible loquaciousness, quick wit, somewhat awkward impetuousness -she's enchanting. And her real compassion and self-deprecation give her more depth than her surface charm. Obviously I'm in love with this heroine, and I think you'll be also. Try it. You'll like it!" - Gareth Ellzey
