Lily and the Duke — Carole Mortimer

Lily and the Duke is the first book in the new Regency romance series, Regency Spinsters Alliance, by USA Today and International #1 Bestselling Author, Carole Mortimer.Lily, and five of her friends all suffered through the previous London Season together. One thing they are now all agreed upon, as they are forced to attend a second Season, is that the gentlemen of the ton are invariably arrogant, conceited, and far too full of themselves and their own comfort to be in the least attentive to even the basic needs of a wife.As such, these six young ladies have formed an alliance, one in which they have agreed none of them will ever marry.Accepting a dare from the arrogantly superior Gabriel Lord, the Duke of St Albans, in which he challenges Lily’s decision by questioning her ability to resist his seduction, is the very last thing Lily should do. Most especially when the duke also declares that the victor shall choose their prize, when the time comes.Because Gabriel Lord has never lost a wager or a dare in his life.Gabriel knows, the moment he sets eyes on Lady Lily Tremayne, that she is meant to be his. But not only is she eighteen years his junior, but he also learns Lily is determined she will never succumb to feeling love or desire for any gentleman in Society.A battle of wills is about to commence!#agegap #obsessionOther books by Carole MortimerRegency Spinsters Alliance –Lily and the Duke (Regency Spinster Alliance 1)Chloe and the Devil (Regency Spinsters Alliance 2)More books to come in this seriesWynter Hearts:RUFUS (Wynter Hearts 1)MAGNUS (Wynter Hearts 2)More books to come in this seriesSnow Dragons Hunting: paranormal dragon shifter seriesLACHLAN (Snow Dragons Hunting 1)Kingston Security:Bks 1-– 7Ruthless Regency Dukes:Bks 1 - 6Dance with the Devil – Contemporary Romance series:Bks 1 – 5Regency ScandalBks 1 – 4Russian Dragon HeatVLADIMIR (Russian Dragon Heat 1)VAUGHN (Russian Dragon Heat 2)VIKTOR (Russian Dragon Heat 3)Regency Club Venus:Bks 1-5Steele Protectors contemporary romance Series:Bks 1-6Regency Men in Love – MM romance written as C A MortimerHIDDEN LOVER (Regency Men in Love 1)HIDDEN DESIRE (Regency Men in Love 2)HIDDEN PASSION (Regency Men in Love 3)Regency Lovers Series:Bks 1-6Dragon Hearts: paranormalBks 1-8Regency Sinners Series:Bks 1-8Regency Unlaced Series:Books 1-9Contemporary Romance Knight Security Series – spin-off to Alpha Series:Books 0.5–6Contemporary Romance Alpha Series:Books 1-8Carole Mortimer has written over 285 books, in contemporary romantic suspense, Regency romance, MM Regency romance, & paranormal romance.
