An Apple Pie for a Duke — Ruby Royce

When Dominic St.Yves, His Grace the Duke of Surrey, encounters The Honourable Eugenia Cartwright for the very first time, she is drunk, dressed like a man, begs him to devour her and vows (on another man's life!) to become his lawful wife.
Too bad Eugenia does not know that Dominic is actually present, hiding in a hayloft above her.
The duke is fascinated! The duke is outraged! The duke is... falling in love?
But how dare she feed apple pie to his favourite stallion? And who is the mysterious Mr. Wimple?

When The Honourable Eugenia Cartwright is assaulted by the very uncivil Duke of Surrey in a London bookshop during her first season, she is stunned into silence. This man has been the hero of her girlish fantasies for the past five years, ever since he had threatened to shoot her dreadful cousin! Has he come to finally devour her? But why is he purring? And why can't she breathe?
