THE HEIRESS GETS A DUKE by Harper St. George

 


About THE HEIRESS GETS A DUKE by Harper St. George (Berkley; January 26, 2021)

 

Even a fortune forged in railroads and steel can't buy entrance into the upper echelons of Victorian high society—for that you need a marriage of convenience.

American heiress August Crenshaw has aspirations. But unlike her peers, it isn't some stuffy British Lord she wants wrapped around her finger—it's Crenshaw Steel, the family business. When it's clear that August's outrageously progressive ways render her unsuitable for a respectable match, her parents offer up her younger sister to the highest entitled bidder instead. This simply will not do. August refuses to leave her sister to the mercy of a loveless marriage.

Evan Sterling, the Duke of Rothschild, has no intention of walking away from the marriage. He's recently inherited the title only to find his coffers empty, and with countless lives depending on him, he can't walk away from the fortune a Crenshaw heiress would bring him. But after meeting her fiery sister, he realizes Violet isn't the heiress he wants. He wants August, and he always gets what he wants.

But August won't go peacefully to her fate. She decides to show Rothschild that she's no typical London wallflower. Little does she realize that every stunt she pulls to make him call off the wedding only makes him like her even more.

 

 

About the Author

Harper St. George was raised in the rural backwoods of Alabama and along the tranquil coast of northwest Florida. It was a setting filled with stories of the old days that instilled in her a love of history, romance, and adventure. By high school, she had discovered the historical romance novel which combined all of those elements into one perfect package. She has been hooked ever since. She lives in the Atlanta area with her family and loves to hear from readers.

My Review
5 Stars
THE HEIRESS GETS A DUKE by Harper St. George is the First book in The Gilded Age Heiresses. This is the story of Evan Sterling, the Duke of Rothschild and August Crenshaw. Evan has no choice but to marry to help his title and the people that depend on him. August has no desire to marry but does wish to take over the family business. This leads her family to put her younger sister Violet to be the one to marry, but August doesn't want to leave her sister to that fate. Evan is fine with Violet until he lays eyes on August and then he starts to want her even through the antics she pulls. Really enjoyed this book and will be looking for more from this author.
