Historical Romance

England - 1800s

Deckard Payne, Duke of Warburton, survived the war, but not all of his men did. He made a promise to one that he would be the guardian to the obviously dying man's daughter. Dex was determined to make her life easier after being orphaned. But upon his return to England, he discovers that the girl, Analise Crewe, had fled her private school and disappeared. It will take Dex several years before he finds her.

Ana has lived with author Lady Claridge, since fleeing her school. Ana has always wanted to write, and, in fact, had sent her father drafts of a fantasy she was writing. Not knowing if her father was dead or alive has been the worst part of her life since the war ended and he didn't return. So, Ana is hoping her relationship with Lady Claridge will help her get published. But when the older woman passes away and Ana is threatened by her heir, she escapes to London, finding a seedy residence, and slowly selling her late mother's jewels to survive. Continuing with her writing, Ana still plans on selling her book to the London publisher Lady Claridge had. 

Dex has finally managed to track down his errant ward, but she's not easy to tame! She is unaware of her beauty, and has a fiery streak when it comes to making her into a lady. However, an incident forces Dex to marry Ana, although the marriage is anything but normal. And there are secrets emerging that may lead to trouble. 

CAN'T GET ENOUGH OF THE DUKE is the second book in the Thunderbolt Club series. While it's a romance, per se, it is a poignant account of two people sadly affected by war. Honorable Dex wants to keep his promise to Ana's father, but he is shocked to discover that he can fall for the unpredictable and, sometimes, outrageous Ana. Ana is a fighter, and reluctantly tries to behave, but marriage and love for her was not in her dreams. How will it all turn out?
