Produktbeschreibung
A princess with a scandalous secret. A duke desperate for a wealthy bride. A debutante torn between duty and passion. Newly widowed Princess Adelheid Kinsky thought she was free-until she learns of her abusive late husband's final betrayal. The son she believed dead, the illegitimate child of a forbidden love, still lives. To secure his future, she must marry within a month-without revealing the truth. Her best prospect? The Duke of Hartland, a notorious rake drowning in debt. Meanwhile, Hartland sets his sights on Olivia Fontenoy, an heiress whose fortune could solve all his problems. But innocent Olivia dreams of music, not marriage, and seizes the chance to perform in disguise at the King's Theatre-unwittingly ensnaring everyone she knows in scandal. As deception and desire collide, Olivia finds herself drawn to Hartland's closest friend, the quiet yet passionate Marquess of Lewiston-a man who offers her something far more profound than mere security. And for Adelheid, an unexpected alliance may hold the key to her dreams. With a surprising ending worthy of grand opera, The Soprano's Daring Duke is a sweeping Regency tale of love, risk, and the courage to defy expectations.
Autorenporträt
I am the award-winning author of over a dozen historical novels set in a variety periods, all featuring strong women. For material, I have roamed through history from the middle ages in Southern France (The Orphans of Tolosa Trilogy) to Russia during the Revolution (Anastasia's Secret), passing through the court of Louis XIV, the French Revolution, Romantic era Paris, the Crimea, and early 20th century New York. I have a PhD in Music History from Yale-the spur that set me onto my career as a historical novelist. My love of Regency Romance has been lying in wait for me for decades, and I've finally succumbed to the lure of this captivating genre. This book is the first in a series of stand-alone novels called Double-Dilemma Romance. In addition to being a writer, I am certified as a book coach in fiction, nonfiction, and memoir by Author Accelerator, working 1:1 with many remarkable writers. I also teach workshops, and have lovingly built several online self-paced courses for writers, the most recent of which is The Heart of Historical Romance. You can find more information about my books and about working with me on my website, Susanne-dunlap.com.
