title: A Duke to the Rescue
author: Johnson, Caroline
description: Can the Duke of Hawdon save Lady Esther before it’s too late? Lady Esther Bertram must find an escape. Her father insists that she marry the old and corpulent Lord Thompson, who is rumored to be a violent man. Turning to the only person she can, Esther seeks out her godmother, Lady Heber. When Lady Heber discovers that Amos, the Duke of Hawdon, is searching for a new housekeeper, she puts Esther forward for the task. Taking on a false name and a new identity, Esther, now Mrs. Edwards, enters the duke’s household, in hopes that he will not discover her true identity. However, when the duke and Lady Esther are immediately attracted to each other, they must overcome a whole new set of challenges. If you like Regency-era romances, stories about love conquering all, and harrowing tales of damsels in distress, you’ll love A Duke to the Rescue.
