From The Publisher:
"A fresh voice that stands out….Delicious and delightful!"
-Karen Hawkins
Romance superstar Amanda Quick calls Julie Anne Long, "a fantastic writer," and says, "her writing glows." Suzanne Enoch calls Long's work, "warm, witty, and fabulous!" This rapidly rising star of historical romance dazzles once again with What I Did For a Duke-the next fabulous installment in her sensual and emotionally charged Pennyroyal Green series. This Regency delight focuses on a dark duke with a sinful reputation and his determined efforts to seduce and ruin the innocent sister of his enemy-only to fall victim himself to the gentle lady's good nature and passionate soul. What I Did For a Duke follows Long's delightful I Kissed an Earl, continuing the colorful feud between the Eversea and Redmond families, and it's one of the most scandalously entertaining love stories in many a season.
