The Rum and the Fox — Emma V. Leech

From the author of the exciting series Rogues & Gentlemen comes a new Regency Romance Series - The Regency Romance Mysteries

Miss Keziah Todd is desperate

Surely the daughter of a viscount, even an impoverished one, ought to be able to live, just a little? But her father, Viscount Rennard, is a violent man, and one that is hard to thwart as he harshly restricts Keziah's society.

When Keziah learns of her father's plans to marry the recently widowed and fabulously wealthy, Duchess of Chartley, it doesn't take the lovely Miss Todd long to realise that the woman's only son, Felix - the new Duke of Chartley, is an inconvenience that her father will remove with haste.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A nice change of pace very much enjoyed this book - it was not the typical romance where a strong, but jaded Duke rushes in and saves the damsel in distress. The book combined a Duke's coming of age, a desperate young woman, and a murder mystery. A nice change of pace. - Amazon Customer

A mild mannered duke
Felix might be a pink of the ton, but feisty Keziah believes he has more hair than wit and is no match for her cunning father. Unable to live with the good-natured duke's death on her conscience, Keziah takes a risk, and Felix's life in her hands.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Really enjoyed this book.A Duke who was not a dashing hero figure but a young man of good looks and integrity. Ash is rich and rather a dandy but when it comes to protecting those he loves his strength of character comes through. Abuse and killing is not his way and when a young abused noble woman comes to him with news of a plot to kill him and harm his family he is drawn into a world of vicious greed. Interesting read a wonderful conclusion.= Amazon Customer
