The Duke's Second Chance
Lords for the Sisters of Sussex #1
By Jen Geigle Johnson
When he lost his wife Gerald wanted nothing to with his newborn son and the thought of a second marriage was not to be contemplated. But his mother and sister are convinced that he needs a new duchess to help manage his estate. But a grieving heart is not able to accept the well-meaning advice of family so Gerald does the only thing possible - he walks out and into a tea shop.
Amelia Dickson never expected a fine gentleman to enter her family's tea shop, at least one that wasn't in the company of a young lady. But when a gentleman comes in in an attempt to outrun his broken heart she had no idea that her life was about to change. And when she learns the identity of her shop's visitor she is more than a little surprised to discover that he is the Duke of Granbury. She knows that she has no hope of winning the heart of the man who stole hers.
When Gerald makes a rash decision he may live the rest of his life regretting it. But the only woman who has managed to capture his attention is not in his social sphere and therefore unsuitable to even think upon as his mother has so recently pointed out.
The Duke's Second Chance is a lovely quick read that those who love clean Regency romance. There are secrets that have an interesting impact on the story. And then there is the estate that Gerald inherited from a cousin that comes with a household of sisters which sets the stage for the rest of the series, yes the sisters of Sussex are in want of husbands whether they want them or not.
