title: The Duke Who Dared
author: Merryn, J.K.
description: Nothing could persuade the honorable Duke of Cranleigh that a senior duke should stoop to fight for the hand and heart of any female.Nothing in his privileged existence could shield him from the devastation when the young lady chooses another.Nothing warned him that at the young lady's wedding, he and his tormented heart would confront a dreadful choice - walk away and leave the bride to her fate, or stay and confront an armed killer.And nothing on earth could convince this conflict-averse duke that there was honor in certain death.Nothing.Except love itself.
