Isadora's Story - A new release from bestselling humorous historical romance author DG Rampton.
🎩 a taciturn bodyguard who takes his job (and his scowling) very seriously
👒 a beauty with a talent for finding trouble in exotic locations
🏔️ a trek featuring breathtaking vistas, steep climbs, and enough friction to set the Himalayas on fire
⛵ a sea-voyage that is technically "unforgettable", unless one has amnesia
In the 2nd instalment of the Taming of the Dukes series, London's ballrooms are left behind for a sweeping adventure across the high seas.
Beautiful, clever, and rich enough to cause even the most staid gentleman to consider a career in heiress-hunting, Miss Isadora Jones was the reigning belle of London society until a spurned suitor’s lies turned her from "Incomparable" to "Ineligible" overnight. With her reputation hanging by a thread and the ton whispering behind their fans, her parents pack her off to visit her sister in India – much to her delight!
However, freedom and adventure come with a catch...a rather large, annoyingly attractive one.
After stumbling upon an international 'incident' within days of her arrival in Calcutta, Isadora finds herself under the constant, watchful eye of a vexingly ill-mannered war hero, who seems to always be on hand to extract her from the various calamities that come her way with regrettable frequency.
During the course of a trek to the foothills of the Himalayas and a voyage home that has her losing her memory as well as her heart, Isadora discovers that her greatest challenge isn't a stalking tiger, a storm at sea, or an Ottoman slave trader — it’s the infuriating man tasked with keeping her safe.
