title: The Spinster and the Duke
author: Eaton, Jillian
description: Thirty years have passed since Reginald Browning, Duke of Ashburn, chose duty over love. After three decades spent abroad, he has at long last returned to England to reclaim his ducal estate...and the woman he should have married.
  
  Abigail was just a young, naïve girl when she fell in love with a man too far above her reach. Now a confirmed spinster, she has forgiven the boy who broke her heart but she has never forgotten the man. When Reginald unexpectedly shows up on her doorstep she wants nothing to do with him, fearful of stirring up old feelings that should have died long ago.
  
  But true love can only be denied for so long. After a lifetime spent apart, will Reginald and Abigail finally find their happily-ever-after?
