The Duke’s Christmas Bride

Drop Dead Dukes Book 3

A lady without a family…

Rose St. Clair has spent her entire life tucked away in a tiny hamlet in Gloucestershire, far from decadent London. When her father’s sudden death leaves her alone and unprotected on their crumbling estate, Rose is determined to save the only home she’s ever known. But when a snowy November morning brings a mysterious gentleman to her door, Rose unexpectedly finds herself fighting to save Hammond Court from the most powerful duke in England.

A duke without a heart…

Maxwell Burke, the cold, ruthless Duke of Grantham doesn’t believe in love, Christmas, or happily-ever-after, but there is one thing he does believe in: revenge. The St. Claire family stole Hammond Court from his father two decades earlier, and now Max will stop at nothing to take it back, even if it means engaging in a battle of wills with the beguiling Rose St. Claire.

A love more powerful than revenge…

But there’s more to the feud between the two families than meets the eye. As Rose and Max attempt to unravel the complex knots binding them together, a fiery passion erupts between them. Torn between family loyalty and burning desire, Rose and Max must decide if their love is strong enough to heal the wounds of a past tainted with secrets and lies. Can Rose trust Max to embrace a future together, or will Max lose the only lady who can melt the ice around his heart?
