The Duchess Contract
The Duchess Contract
Included in Free Trial
Miss Selina Stubbs signs the contract of her life with her father—her perfumes in every major shop in London, in exchange for marrying the reluctant son of the Duke of Hampford.
Lord Theophilus, the courtesy Marquess of Cheswick, has no desire to wed the daughter of a London merchant. He wishes to go to Africa and study the animals there. But his father, the Duke of Hampford, desperately needs her dowry.
After the wedding, Selina gets to know Theophilus and learns of his care for wounded animals. Together they plan a daring rescue of a lion from the Tower of London. Selina decides to make a new bargain…this time for love.
“I loved this short and sweet intro to the Stringham Family! So excited for the upcoming story! Only wished it was longer!”
—Lisa O., Goodreads Reviewer
"Really quite delightful! I’m going to be looking for more from this author. It was not the tried and true cookie cutter story. The banter and relationship building was perfectly on pace without being rushed. They were sweet and cute. Darling, sweet read."

"Such a great story. I always prefer books without needless emotional drama. This was fun (capture a lion), sweet romance, strong characters."

"I enjoyed this story because the author chose a refreshing aspect of the Regency.. I love the characters , especially the female one. Anybody who reads Regency novels and are fed up with the same type of stories and characters will love this story."
