The Duchess Deal

Brigid says: One of the first romance books I read that made me fall in love with the genre I had long ignored! This charming historical romp is a steamy Beauty and the Beast retelling that enchanted me from the first page when the main character arrives at the Duke's doorstep in a wedding dress. Tessa Dare's swoony stories are always thoughtfully clever and full of witty banter. (Open door.)
