Description
A lady must have money and an army of her own if she is to win a revolution - but first, she must pit her wits against the wiles of an irresistible rogue bent on wrecking her plans . . . and her heart. Lady Lucie is fuming. She and her band of Oxford suffragists have finally scraped together enough capital to control one of London's major publishing houses, with one purpose: to use it in a coup against Parliament. But who could have predicted that the one person standing between her and success is her old nemesis and London's undisputed lord of sin, Lord Ballentine? Or that he would be willing to hand over the reins for an outrageous price - a night in her bed. Lucie tempts Tristan like no other woman, burning him up with her fierceness and determination every time they clash. But as their battle of wills and words fans the flames of long-smouldering devotion, the silver-tongued seducer runs the risk of becoming caught in his own snare. As Lucie tries to out-manoeuvre Tristan in the boardroom and the bedchamber, she soon discovers there's truth in what the poets say: all is fair in love and war . . . Praise for BRINGING DOWN THE DUKE 'Evie Dunmore's debut is a marvel . . . a witty, richly detailed, historically significant, and achingly romantic celebration of the power of love and the passionate fight for women's rights' CHANEL CLEETON, bestselling author of NEXT YEAR IN HAVANA 'Dazzles and reminds us all why we fell in love with historical romance' JULIA LONDON, New York Times bestselling author of Seduced by a Scot 'Simply superb!

Evie Dunmore is a marvellous, fresh new voice in romance who is sure to go far. Don't miss her brilliant debut!' ANNA CAMPBELL, bestselling author of the Dashing Widows series 'Evie Dunmore's Bringing Down the Duke delivers the best of two worlds - a steamy romance coupled with the heft of a meticulously researched historical novel . . . Readers will be entranced' RENEE ROSEN, author of Park Avenue Summer

ReviewsA swoonworthy romance fueled by electric chemistry Miss Dunmore is a literary force to be reckoned with. She's single handedly forging a new historical romance era and I am here. For. It. Dunmore creates pure magic with this charming, romantic novel featuring a strong, stubborn heroine and a sexy, slightly-broken hero. Full of romance, humour and heart, all revolving around the fascinating dynamics of the suffragist movement, it's one of my favourite novels of 2020! There are few things I love more than a committed rogue . . . and better yet, his delicious comeuppance at the hands of the only woman who could ever possibly tame him! What a marvellous ride! With a whip-smart suffragist heroine and a charming scoundrel of a leading man, this fresh take on historical romance is definitely one of my favourite reads of the year! Evie Dunmore is a phenomenon! . . . Breathtaking, high stakes romance, with one of the loveliest endings I've read in years The perfect intersection of fierce feminism and swoon-worthy romance A modern romance in a Victorian dress, sans the corset
