The Magnificent Duchess — Sarah Stamford

What was the advantage of being the prettiest girl of the season if her friends, lesser beauties by far, had already walked off with the matrimonial prizes? And with a mother like the formidable Duchess of Monreith, Georgiana would never marry the man of her choice. The duchess had already maneuvered her daughter into the arms of one duke. Now she was to be whisked off to Paris to set her cap for the stepson of Napoleon himself! As she dazzled the courts of France beyond even the duchess's wildest dreams, Georgiana would face a war that would foil even her mother's fierce ambitions... and a love that could not be denied.

Hero: Eugene de Beauharnais
Heroine: Georgiana (Georgy) Gordon
