No Ordinary Duchess
Elizabeth Hoyt
(Author)
Description
Cold and brooding, Julian Greycourt, the heir to the Windemere dukedom, has always known that his uncle the duke was responsible for his mother's death. Now he's determined to exact revenge against his uncle--if he can find the proof. But Julian hides a secret so explosive it will destroy him if it's ever revealed, and the duke is watching. The last thing he needs is a distractingly sensual woman whose very presence threatens to destroy his plans.
Sunny and cheerful, Lady Elspeth de Moray doesn't know why her brother and Julian fell out all those years ago, but she can't let the autocratic man get in the way of her mission: to retrieve an ancient family text that she believes is in one of the Windemere libraries. Locating the tome, however, proves trickier than she anticipated, and at each turn, she's thrown together with the maddingly mysterious Julian. And the temptation to give in to her family's greatest enemy grows stronger with each intriguing encounter...

Reviews
"Hoyt offers a refreshing perspective that deconstructs Georgian society's toxic views on sexuality and delivers a subtle but poignant message of self-acceptance without sacrificing her signature sensuality. There's lots here to enjoy."
--Publishers Weekly
"From Hoyt's delightfully book-obsessed heroine to her deliciously brooding, tightly controlled hero with a secret, every character, including Plum the dog, is portrayed with a nuanced thoughtfulness that is rare and wonderful. Infused with a deliciously sharp sense of humor, Hoyt's latest dazzling addition to her resplendently romantic and superbly sensual Greycourt series, following Not the Duke's Darling (2018) and When a Rogue Meets His Match (2020), is well worth the wait."--John Charles, Booklist, starred review
"Credible characters, steamy romance, and heart-pounding action set this romance apart."--Publishers Weekly on When a Rogue Meets His Match

"[T]his superbly executed historical romance is proof positive that this RITA Award-nominated author continues to write with undiminished force and flair. When it comes to incorporating a generous measure of dangerous intrigue and lush sensuality into a truly swoonworthy love story, Hoyt is unrivaled."--Booklist on Dearest Rogue
"An expert blend of scintillating romance and mystery... The romance between the beautiful and quick-witted Isabel and the masked champion of the downtrodden propels this novel to the top of its genre."--Publishers Weekly on Thief of Shadows
