say no to the duke the wildes of lindow castle

And because the “mean girls” at her boarding school spent all of their gossiping time speculating on just when her mother’s lascivious nature would manifest in her daughter.īetsy can’t get their cutting words and nasty whispers out of her head any more than Jeremy can stop the voices of the men who followed him to their deaths. Not to mention his misplaced guilt, his all-too-real fears and his PTSD.īetsy pretends to be a lady because her mother manifestly was not. Jeremy pretends to be drunk to keep his well-meaning friends away while he stews in his own regrets and remorse. The ghosts of the men he lost during England’s vain attempt to get her rebellious North American colonies back. Or do pretty much anything to keep his demons at bay. Not that Jeremy doesn’t seem to drink like a fish – but he doesn’t get drunk. Jeremy Roden may seem to be in his cups nearly all the time, but his performance as a drunken wastrel is just as perfect as Betsy’s – and just as fraudulent. Only one man seems to see through Betsy’s never-ending stellar performance. Lady Betsy gives the outward appearance – and performs all the public actions – of the perfect lady that she pretends to be. Not just because Boadicea is rather a mouthful, but because Betsy fits much better with the persona she projects to the world. The story in Say No to the Duke is the story of Lady Boadicea Wilde. But the Wildes of the previous books have all been men.

Or, at least the Wildes that have featured in the previous books in this marvelous series, Wilde in Love, Too Wilde to Wed and Born to be Wilde certainly have been very wild indeed. The Wildes of Lindow Castle are all very, very wild. If he wins…she is his, for one wild night.īut what happens when Jeremy realizes that one night will never be enough? In the most important battle of his life, he’ll have to convince Betsy to say no to the duke. If she wins a billiards game, he’ll provide the breeches.

No gentleman would agree to her scandalous plan-but Lord Jeremy Roden is no gentleman. Lady Betsy Wilde’s first season was triumphant by any measure, and a duke has proposed-but before marriage, she longs for one last adventure. One little wager will determine their fate-a daring escape or falling into temptation with a rakish lord. Purchasing Info: Author's Website, Publisher's Website, Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Kobo,
