Too bad, then, that Sera takes off and won't be seen for another two years and seven months.įinally he has the chance to make it all better, to win her back. Damn the lies (she kind of did but not really), he will grovel and fight for her, and they will live happily ever after. See, the moment they lost their child and Sera nearly died, his eyes were opened. Now that she's back in England, he will do anything to keep her, to convince her to give him one more chance, to give their marriage one more chance. In the past two years and seven months, he's been searching her all over Europe and even as far as America but - seemingly - to no avail.

He's never stopped loving his wife, even when he thought her to be nothing more than a title huntress. Malcolm Bevingstoke, Duke of Haven, has of course other plans. She has plans and hopes for the future in which she can finally make peace with her past. She wants out of a loveless union, setting herself and Malcolm free to move forward from a marriage doomed from the very beginning. This is Sera and Malcolm's history, chronologically backwards, when the book starts. Two years and seven months after vanishing from her husband's country estate after being told she's barren after a stillborn child after witnessing her husband's infidelity after being subjected to his disdain for trapping him into marriage after actually trapping him into marriage after falling in love with him almost instantly. Seraphina Bevingstoke, Duchess of Haven, makes a dramatic entrance in Parliament, petitioning for divorce.

Warning: spoilers ahead and (sorry!) wall of text inc. I wouldn't dare leave you hanging on that front.įor more, you can read the first chapter of the book at my website! Thank you, as ever, for reading! (Aside: You will also see some of the boys from The Fallen Angel!)ģ) You will get the whole backstory for Sera & Haven here. But YES, of course, you will see King & Sophie from The Rogue Not Taken - it would be tough to ignore them, as Sera & Haven's story begins there for so many of us. You will see them in carriages and at country houses and in places that you can visit yourself in the real world.Ģ) NO, you will not see Alec & Lily from A Scot in the Dark.

I don't want to spoil what's to come, but here are the answers to some of the questions people have been asking about The Day of the Duchess!ġ) YES, you will see more of the Dangerous Daughters/Talbot Sisters/Soiled Ss. I don't think I've ever written two characters who better deserved a happily ever om each other. As always, I like this book, or I wouldn't have let you all read it.īUT.that said, I will tell you that this book put me through the ringer.
