Between the Duke and the Deep Blue Sea

Description

Six Regency heroes-One royal hangover An infamous night has been lost to memory. The scandalous Dukes of the Royal Entourage must make amends. The first step is a heroic rescue. One of England's most disreputable peers, Alexander Barclay, Duke of Kress, has stumbled upon a perfect opportunity for redemption. Having been exiled to Cornwall by the Prince Regent himself, Barclay discovers lovely Roxanne Vanderhaven clinging to the edge of a cliff, stranded there by her murderous blackguard of a husband . . . just waiting to be rescued. Back on solid ground, Roxanne is desperate for a new life- once she's retaliated for her husband's despicable actions. Surprisingly, she finds herself drawn to her unlikely champion, certainly the last man in England she could count on. Yet, the infamous Duke of Kress isn't quite the scoundrel he seems . . .

Sophia Nash's first three novels won eight national awards including the prestigious RITA Award and a spot on Booklist's "Top Ten Romances of the Year." Sophia was born in Switzerland, raised in France and the United States, but says her heart resides in Regency England. It's no wonder considering her ancestors: a French admiral and English Royal Navy commander who traded epic cannon fire at sea. Before pursuing her long held dream of writing Historicals, Sophia was an award-winning television producer for CBS, a congressional speechwriter, and a nonprofit CEO.
