    Aphrodite and the Duke

    by J.J. McAvoy

    Aphrodite Du Bell has stayed away from London ever since the love of her life jilted her and married another woman four years ago. But familial duty calls her back to the city to help with her sister’s debut. She reluctantly goes, but on her own terms, which means ignoring the one man who broke her heart, the Duke of Everely. The Duke, now a widower, is determined to win back Aphrodite’s trust–and her hand in marriage. But when secrets are revealed about their past, there may be no room for love in their future.

    by Christi Caldwell

    Cailin Audley’s newfound fortune may have changed her status, but it hasn’t changed her value in her own independence–or her hatred for the men of the ton, especially the frustratingly charming Duke of St. James.

Too bad the one woman who has caught his attention wants nothing to do with him or his title.
