Miss Hilversham and the Pesky Duke

By: Sofi Laporte

Narrated by: Ella Lynch

A strict schoolmistress. A degenerate duke. One house standing between them.

Weary of his decadent life, the wicked Duke of Rochford arrives in Bath with every intent to turn over a new leaf. But when the prim, meddling, feisty headmistress of the neighboring school unleashes her outspoken opposition to Marcus’s presence, he decides to turn his new house into a gambling den, if only to vex her.

Miss Eleonore Hilversham, headmistress of the Seminary for Young Ladies in Bath, has one aim in life: to run the most exclusive school in all of England. When she discovers that the property she needs has been snitched from right under her nose, she vows to get rid of the new owner, even if he is a powerful duke.

When tragedy strikes at the height of their conflict, both unveil facets of themselves that they have hitherto managed to hide. What heartbreak does Miss Hilversham harbor, and is the wicked duke really that wicked?

Can love prevail and triumph over clashing goals and personalities?

Duke is a jerk

The Duke was a jerk. He did not have any redeeming qualities. I don’t care how many babies he carried out of a burning building. I wish romance writers would stop teaching women to stay with men that they should quit. Even if you have feelings for the jerk don’t stay with a jerk

Loved this one too

Not as fast paced bur still a great story and redemptive ending that was wonderful. Clean romance. Highly Recommend!
