Description

In One Dance with a Duke—the first novel in Tessa Dare’s delightful new trilogy—secrets and scandals tempt the irresistible rogues of the Stud Club to gamble everything for love.
 
A handsome and reclusive horse breeder, Spencer Dumarque, the fourth Duke of Morland, is a member of the exclusive Stud Club, an organization so select it has only ten members—yet membership is attainable to anyone with luck. And Spencer has plenty of it, along with an obsession with a prize horse, a dark secret, and, now, a reputation as the dashing “Duke of Midnight.” Each evening he selects one lady for a breathtaking midnight waltz. But none of the women catch his interest, and nobody ever bests the duke—until Lady Amelia d’Orsay tries her luck.

In a moment of desperation, the unconventional beauty claims the duke’s dance and unwittingly steals his heart. When Amelia demands that Spencer forgive her scapegrace brother’s debts, she never imagines that her game of wits and words will lead to breathless passion and a steamy proposal. Still, Spencer is a man of mystery, perhaps connected to the shocking murder of the Stud Club’s founder. Will Amelia lose her heart in this reckless wager or win everlasting love?

  • Worth reading twice

    What a fun, entertaining, endearing, romantic book. Great characters, great story-I had to read it twice. The characters were a great contrast; the author made you feel part of the book. And the witty humor had me cackling.
  • Boring

    Beyond belief boring.
    It was a struggle to get even half way through and it was all I could do. I have no emotional investment in any of the characters and the plot wasn’t interesting enough to read any further.
  • One of the best

    This is my third time reading this book and I can't get enough. I have read just about all of Tessa Dare's books and can't get enough. The characters are well written and not caricatures of the time. I like this couple and wish there was a follow up story for the Duke and Amelia.
