FIVE THINGS ABOUT SHE TEMPTS THE DUKE YOU MIGHT NOT KNOW


1.     1.  SHE TEMPTS THE DUKE is the 1st book in an exciting new trilogy—The Lost Lords of Pembrook—about young three brothers who are forced to run for their lives in 1844.

2.      2. At fourteen, Sebastian Easton is the oldest, by twenty-two minutes and, therefore, next in line to become the Duke of Keswick.

3.     3Sebastian’s best friend is Mary, the girl who lives on the neighboring estate. She is the one who helps them escape. For her trouble, she is sent to a nunnery.

4.     4As the three brothers ride into the night, into the darkness, into the unknown, Sebastian vows that he will one day return to Pembrook to claim all that belongs to him. Nothing matters more than that. It is a vow that will shape the man he is to become.

5.      5. Twelve years later, three dark and dangerous men arrive in London, determined to reclaim their birthright. One raised on the streets, one hardened by a life at sea, and one toughened by his regimental service. But each will discover that nothing they endured prepared them for being brought to their knees by love.

  5. I can't wait to read this book! I have read many of Lorraine's books and greatly enjoyed each one. I have read many books that I would recommend recently, including Sabrina Jeffries Hellions series. Great stories with a mystery, humor, an interfering grandmother, and lots of romance.
