"Attention, Bridgerton fans: if you' re ready to delve deeper into the world of historical romances,The Worst Duke in the World by Lisa Berne is a fun place to start. " -Pop SugarA wayward duke must choose: will he be the bad hero in a love story gone awry, or the brave and clever hero who risks everything for true love The acclaimed Penhallow Dynasty series continues in this fresh, fun, funny tale!Life' s no bowl of cherries for Anthony Farr, the Duke of Radcliffe. Duty demands he remarry to provide a spare to go along with the heir - and eligible ladies keep trying to finagle him into a proposal. All he wants is to be a good father to his 8-year-old son, see the Duchess (his truly terrific pig) win first prize at the harvest fete, and stay single. Even if that makes him a Bad Duke. Maybe the Worst Duke in the World. Then Miss Jane Kent, a long-lost relation of the illustrious Penhallow family, arrives in the neighborhood and is promptly befriended by the Duke' s son. Jane, Anthony comes to realize, is smart and fun and also very kissable and dazzlingly desirable. Still, that' s not enough to melt his resistance to marrying again. He made a stern promise to himself and promises must, of course, be kept. But what if that' s just his head talking, and his heart . . . is saying something entirely different"Delicious.
