An artist stumbles upon a naked duke and an unlikely love story begins in this captivating Victorian historical romance. When Royal Academy painting student Lucy Coover trips over a naked man passed out in an East End alley, she does the decent thing. She covers him up and fetches help. Trouble is, she can' t banish his muscular form from her dreams as easily. Compelled to capture every detail, she creates a stunning portrait but is forced to sell it when the rent comes due. Whatcould be worse than surrendering the very pictureof your desire? Meeting the man himself. Anthony Philby, Duke of Weston,is nobody' s muse. Upon discovering the scandalous likeness, he springs into action. His infamous family has been torn apart by shame and secrets, and he can' t afford more gossip. Even a whisper may jeopardize his inheritance andhis chance at independence. His plan is simple- burn the painting, confront the artist. Or rather, it' s simple until he meets Lucy and decides to offer the bewitching young artist a devil' s bargain. He' ll help save her foreclosed home, if she' ll help repair his family' s brutal legacy. Anirresistible passion ignites between them, but when danger strikes, Lucy and Anthony must risk everything. . . for a love that might destroy them both.
"I loved The Duke Undone and so will my readers!"--Eloisa James, New York Times bestselling author of My Last Duchess "A beautiful blend of seductive suspense and heart-tugging romance that I could not put down. Romance fans should make room for this author on their keeper shelves!"--Lyssa Kay Adams, National bestselling author of Crazy, Stupid Bromance "Joanna Lowell' s skillful storytelling and dazzling characters create one of the most exciting new voices in historical romance today. "--Julia London, New York Times bestselling author of A Princess by ChristmasA charming romance with an atypical heroine and a to-die-for (and hot!) hero in this unique tale of a duke and a struggling artist in Victorian London. "--Jennifer Ashley, New York Times bestselling author of The Stolen Mackenzie Bride"I really loved this book--in fact, I couldn' t put it down. It' s a fabulous feast of a story that plunges you into the Victorian era with all its levels and complications -- into the art world and among aristocrats and slum-dwellers. There' s tension, adventure, derring-do, a fight against corruption on several levels, a rich cast of characters and a hero and heroine to admire and cheer for. All in all, a rich and heartwarming historical romance. Highly recommended. "--Anne Gracie, National bestselling author of Marry in Scarlet "Lowell conjures vivid characters in this intelligent Victorian romance. . . provides plenty of atmospheric intrigue, deepened by Lowell' s willingness to engage with ideas of gender, class, and empire, and by the complexity of the characters. "--Publisher' s Weekly Lowell' s prose is vivid and evocative, and issues such as class inequity, women' s rights, and alcohol addiction complement the intense on-page evolution of the love story. . . those looking for a happy-ever-after for complex and passionate characters will be very satisfied here. A new voice in historical romance that will keep readers riveted. --Kirkus
