The Duke of Lindow is searching for his third duchess, and the lady he’s picked isn’t keen on the honor. For the last few years, Eloisa has been serializing this story as Wilde Denial, an exclusive treat to readers who preorder her books. Her editor took one look and loved it so much that she asked for another 100 pages. So Wilde Denial has a new name, My Last Duchess, and twice the fun (yes, in this version the duke does manage to talk his beloved Ophelia into bed and marriage).
HAPPILY EVER AFTER NEWS UPDATE: On Oct. 27, 2020, the short novel will release in its new form. A cover is still to come, but you can read the beginning right now and get a taste!
Make sure to PRE-ORDER your copy of My Last Duchess in print, ebook, or audio. Whether you’ve read part of it or it’s all new to you, don’t miss this delicious story.
