About this ebook

A Duke’s return sparks a most unwelcome temptation in this Regency romance novella featuring all the 2015 Avon FanLit-winning chapters!

When Maxwell Trent, Duke of Highclyff, arrives at the ball of the season, Lady Felicity Stratford can scarcely believe her eyes—or control her beating heart. Ten years ago, Max left Felicity in the wake of a scandalous duel and sailed off to the West Indies. Having only just recovered her reputation and about to embark on a long-awaited engagement, the duke is the last man Felicity wants to see back in London, even if he is the only man she’s ever loved.

Between a forbidden balloon ride, a runaway monkey, and a life-changing ball, Max and Felicity discover the truth of what happened all those years ago. And they must decide if true love really can last forever.

Ratings and reviews

This was a great little book. The plot and storylines were typical, in that there was a youthful love, love lost, and love rekindled in the midst of angst and redefining paths of life but the characters were likable and funny. There were other elements that I hadn't found in other books, like hot air balloons and a monkey which made it an interesting read, however. :) Recommended for a quick read.

I don't usually care for multiple author books. However this one flowed nicely from one to the other. The story was good too. Lost love, renewed love and a incoragable little monkey.

A real nice story went bad with Birdie's unnecessary involvement... skip this portion and the story become a good read.
