Someday My Duke Will Come by Christina Britton

I hope I make you proud (even though there's still not a sword with a secret compartment in the hilt in this book…sorry hunny).

I will never have enough words in me to tell you how much I love you. Most especially, thank you to my husband and children. Heaps of love to Kathryn Kramer, whose book Under Gypsy Skies was the first romance I bought at thirteen years old, and who, in recent years, has become a very dear friend. And thank you to Jayci for being my sprinting buddy. Thank you to Julie and Hannah in helping me iron out my plot. And thank you to everyone at Grand Central and Forever for your enthusiasm, support, talent, and kindness I cannot believe my good fortune to be part of the Forever family. Thank you to my amazing editor, Madeleine Colavita, who constantly amazes me with her skill and talent in turning my jumble of words into an actual book. Thank you so much to my incredible agent, Kim Lionetti I'm so blessed to have you in my corner. And thank you to everyone who has embraced the Isle of Synne and its romantic misfits your enthusiasm for this world and these characters has brought me such joy! (Aug.Quincy has to be one of my favorite heroes to date, and I want to thank all of the readers who asked for his story after A Good Duke Is Hard to Find released. But can Margery let go of the guilt she feels for moving on from her first husband to claim her second chance? The central couple radiates strength and sweetness, and Daniel’s endearing shyness is sure to make readers swoon. Soon, however, their intense mutual attraction and easy friendship distracts them from their goals. There he meets Margery, who’s declared she will never remarry, but offers to play matchmaker to the upstanding but socially awkward Daniel in exchange for the funds she needs. He accompanies his mother to the charming Isle of Synne hoping to find a wife without having to endure the gossip and gawking his scars would draw during a season in London. Daniel Hayle, the Duke of Carlisle, who’s heavily scarred from his own time in the war, needs an heir to protect his legacy. She’s desperate to raise the funds but loathe to involve her wealthy family, who disapproved of her marriage.

Margery Kitteridge receives a letter threatening to out her late husband as a deserter at Waterloo if she doesn’t pay up. Blackmail throws together a widow and a soldier in Britton’s intoxicating finale to her Isle of Synne Regency series (after Someday My Duke Will Come).
