The American Duchess

Young and lovely Tracy Bodmin was as spirited and independent as theAmerica she came from--but love for her father made her yield to hisheart's desire. Though William Bodmin had made his fortune in the NewWorld, he dreamed of a title for his daughter in his native England--andhis wealth won a marriage proposal to Tracy from the proud Duke ofHastings. Behind she left Adam Lancaster, the handsome, rugged NewEnglander who adored her. Ahead lay fear and danger in the arms of apowerful, magnetic man whose mode of life and love she did not know...What was she doing here? What was Tracy doing in this huge mansion whoserooms she could not count and whose hallways were a bewildering maze?What was she doing surrounded by servants who seemed determined not tolet her lift a finger whether she wanted to or not? What was she doingin the company of lords and ladies whose venomous gossip and razor-edgedwit might well have been in a foreign tongue for all she could join inwith them? Above all, what was she doing as wife to the devilishlyhandsome and charming Duke who now waited for her in her bridal chamber?Clearly, Adrian, the Duke of Hastings, had a great deal to teach Tracyabout being a Duchess -- and even more to learn if he didn't want a newAmerican Revolution on his hands....
