The Duke's Bedeviled Bride Nina Mason

Publisher Marketing: The tawdry tale of the Duke and Duchess of Dunwoody continues... Maggie Armstrong, the long-lost illegitimate daughter of the heir presumptive to the throne, is bedeviled by her husband's limited definition of fidelity. After observing him in a menage a trois at the court of King Charles II, she is determined to bring him around to her way of thinking- by any means necessary. Robert doesn't mind being punished for his transgressions. Rather, he enjoys being whipped, especially by his beloved bride. Unfortunately, her heart might not belong to him alone. His younger brother, who he'd sent abroad to clear the way for himself, is coming home sooner than expected, and Maggie's feelings for Hugh may not be as dead as her husband had hoped. Both duke and duchess soon learn, to their peril, Hugh Armstrong is not the honorable man they'd been led to believe. Insanely jealous of his brother's situation, Hugh will stop at nothing to strip Robert of all he holds dear-including his life. But the real danger for Robert and Maggie is not the villainous marquess, but the growing friction betwixt Catholics and Protestants in Restoration Era Great Britain. Can their love survive the trials that await them?" Contributor Bio:  Mason, Nina Nina Mason is a hopeful romantic with strong affinities for history, mythology, and the metaphysical.
