Duchess — Deana James

Duchess was a lady of mystery. Courageous, unconventional, and driven by a hidden hurt, she searched London's notorious brothels to save innocent young women from lives of white slavery. Yet she had never allowed anyone to know her own fears or desires...until she met the Texan.

San Antonio rancher Rowdy MacPherson wore a ten-gallon hat, rode a mustang through the streets of London, and out-gambled England's blue-blooded lords. But he traded adventure for passion when a lovely woman came to his rescue one fog-shrouded night.

Duchess was a woman of fire and ice that a rugged cowboy would fight for, take to his bed and claim as his bride. But once she revealed her secrets, would he surrender his love -- or break her heart?
