New York Times and USA
Today bestselling author LAURA LEE GUHRKE returns with the exciting
new DEAR LADY
TRUE LOVE series.
At the center of the first installment, THE TRUTH ABOUT LOVE AND DUKES (on sale
March 28, 2017; ISBN 9780062469854; $7.99) is the tempestuous and independent Irene
Deverill.
A thoroughly
contemporary heroine, Irene is a rare woman for her time. A suffragette and champion
of higher education for women, she is also the publisher of a scandalous
newspaper column which dispenses practical wisdom about the most impractical of
matters—love. Maintaining a hidden identity is essential to the success of the Dear
Lady True Love column. However, the longevity of the popular gossip
mill is threatened when Henry Cavanaugh, Duke of Torquil, becomes enraged by
the publication of his mother’s advice-seeking letter, and embarks on a mission
to uncover the publisher of the rag, and take them to task for daring to
disclose his mother’s scandalous affair.
Duke Torquil’s mother
has set the ton a-titter by falling in love with Foscarelli, an Italian painter
of limited means. When his mother writes to Lady True Love and is advised to
elope with her lover, to Henry’s horror she actually takes up the suggestion. Henry is then left to fear his mother’s
aristocratic standing has been compromised.
When Henry finally
tracks down the author of the reckless advice, and discovers the beautiful,
vivacious Irene Deverill, he is instantly disarmed. One scandal gives way to another for the
alluring pair, equaling more fodder for the high society rumor mill. But with a shot of Cupid’s arrow, perhaps
Irene will give up her penchant for gossip altogether and rise to the social
heights for which she seems destined, and maybe Duke Torquil will learn to put
family happiness above social perfection, for after all—with love, anything’s possible.
In THE TRUTH ABOUT LOVE AND DUKES, the first installment in the DEAR LADY TRUE
LOVE series, LAURA LEE GUHRKE
has crafted another intriguing romance that will have both ardent fans and
newcomers quickly turning the page.
