About this ebook

Before there was Downton Abbey, there was Rebellious Desire...in this classic Regency romance from bestselling author Julie Garwood, an American heiress must land a titled lord.

Of all the dukes in England, Jered Marcus Benton, the Duke of Bradford, was the wealthiest, most handsome—and most arrogant. And of all London’s ladies, he wanted the tender obedience of only one—Caroline Richmond.

She was a ravishing beauty from Boston, with a mysterious past and a fiery spirit. Drawn to the powerful duke, undeterred by his presumptuous airs, Caroline was determined to win his lasting love. But Bradford would bend to no woman—until a deadly intrigue drew them enticingly close. Now, united against a common enemy, they would discover the power of the magnificent attraction that brought them together...a desire born in danger, but destined to flame into love!

Ratings and reviews

Love the author and her characters, her story lines are quite interesting and captivating. the only reason I didn't give the book a 5 is the loves scenes.. a bit too much! I love those, don't get me wrong, but when there is too much of it, it looses its magic and I found myself skipping over those by the time I got to the 3rd or so love scene. sometimes less is more!

Julie Garwood will always be one of my favorite authors but this particular book didn't appeal to me. Bradford wasn't just stupid. He was utterly contemptible and incorrigible at that.

The only Garwood book I don't like Absolutely love all her other historical romances, The Lions Lady is my favorite
