The Duchess Hunt
by Jennifer Haymore
THE DUKE’S DESIRE
Simon Hawkins, duke of Trent, is no
stranger to scandal. Rumors and innuendo have darkened the House of Trent for
decades, and it has fallen to Simon to restore his tattered family name. He
lives by a strict code of honor, but when he is called home to investigate his
mother’s disappearance, the distinguished duke will tangle with temptation. For
there waits the only woman he has ever loved-and the last woman he should
desire . . .
Sarah Osborne has spent her life
dreaming of Simon’s touch. But dukes do not long for lady’s maids—or so Sarah
believes, until a stolen kiss sparks a passion that could be her ultimate
undoing. As the couple begins a forbidden romance, a cunning enemy plots to
destroy the duke and everything he loves. Now, caught in a blackmailer’s web,
Simon faces an agonizing choice: sacrifice his family’s future or break Sarah’s
heart.
