The Scandal of the Duke’s Secret Baby

DOWNLOAD FOR FREE WITH KINDLE UNLIMITED When Olivia Phillips, the daughter of famous industrialist Simon Phillips, is invited to the Duke of Rochester’s illustrious Bloomsbury Estate, she expects another boring and senseless week of tiresome conversation and loathsome company. Whilst there she stumbles upon a most arrogant man, and naturally being the outspoken young woman that she is, she does not hold her tongue. Imagine her surprise when she discovers this is the famous Duke. Vincent Pierce, the Duke of Rochester, has never met someone quite like Olivia Phillips and finds her equally appalling and attracting. As they spend more time together, Vincent cannot seem to keep his distance from this intriguing woman. He soon realises that he is in love with her, and plans on asking for her hand in marriage. But Vincent has a secret he has kept hidden and close to his heart, that he is reluctant to disclose. Vincent’s mother, the Dowager Duchess of Rochester is anything but thrilled at the news that Vincent has lost his heart to a woman from a simple family, and devises a plan to ensure their union does not take place. Will the Duchess’s devious plan succeed or will Vincent and Olivia’s love withstand the politics of the Pierce family name? And what will become of Charlotte, the Duke’s most treasured love? A romantic, compelling and appealing read which spins a mesmerising tale. Elizabeth Downton deftly stages heartstring tugging moments that guilty pleasures are made of.
