Gorgeous and wealthy beyond the wildest dreams of any society maiden, Lord Ethan Cole is nonetheless an outcast of London society; one exiled to Paris in the wake of widespread rumors of a scandalous past affair with a married woman. Yet now the bold bachelor is back, seemingly unashamed of his past, and all set to take London by storm; making his first appearance at a grand cotillion where he is not exactly welcomed with open arms.

...except, that is, by Emma Gold. An aspiring author and rebellious woman who resists the empty pageantry of high society, she attends societal events only to do research for the stories that she hopes will form the basis of her life’s work. And although she seeks no husband or suitor at that evening’s cotillion, she nonetheless is intrigued by the man known throughout London as the Scandalous Duke; but only for purposes of research, of course. Surely she could share a dance, a tea, or even something more with this walking mystery of a man without falling madly in love with him—could she not?

And while she would like to model her next literary hero after this handsome, charming gent, he in turn is determined to become the real-life hero of her next grand romance. He realizes that he has met his match in the funny, bright, spirited Emma. Can she resist the charms of the scandalous duke?

Warning! This ebook contains explicit scenes of passion and desire. For adult eyes only!!!

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Diane Queenston has many hobbies in her life but only one passion: romance. She burns through books faster than a wildfire (and always has!), and when reading just wasn't enough for her she turned to writing. She enjoys spinning a good story as much as she does reading one, no matter what the genre! She loves crafting an endless variety of good stories--sometimes she wants the gooey, soft kind that make your heart melt, and sometimes she just craves something a little spicier. She thinks of writing like cooking, and she knows the essential ingredients for any good story: a dash of charm, a bit of audacity, a pinch of humor, a heaping cupful of passion, and one Prince Charming. Diane Queenston knows that good stories are like brownies--you can't have just one!

1.0 out of 5 stars Save your time skip this one.
Reviewed in the United States on July 10, 2015
Are you kidding? Historic romance, not. The only thing the author got right were the descriptions of the clothing and homes. Everything else is a joke. TOTAL SPOILER ALERT **** The Earl sees the heroine, dances with her, and becomes her lover. Absolutely no heat or emotion between them, just some dialogue. Then he publicly asks to marry her? Where is her chaperon? Where are her parents? She's gently raised, but she falls into a bed of roses with him right away?
Advice to the author - do your research on the customs of the time, not just the backgrounds.

This story about two society outcasts due to their past actions or frowned upon appearance is very fun and inspiring written.

Unfortunately the link on the end of this book is no longer available.

Emma attends parties not to socialise and find a husband but to do research for her novel. Ethan returns to the social scene and meets with hostility from guests. Emma decides that just this once she will dance with the Duke. This is a short story filled with description of the room setting the scene in minute detail. Focus is character development setting the scenes for Emma and Ethan's affaire. There are steamy scenes in context to story development. It's a 3 chapter story concluding with a HEA.
