A Mysterious Lady for the Broken Duke by Sally Forbes

One should never be defined by their past because everyone deserves a second chance…

Lady Diana and her mother have returned to London to spend Christmastide with her father who has been away in the Far East. Five years ago during her debut, she fell madly in love with the Marquess of Winsby. But after revealing her secret to the Marquess, he called off their courtship. Fearing that Diana’s reputation would be irreparably ruined, her mother sent her to stay with a distant cousin in Bath. But during the holiday season, Diana’s old memories and secrets come back to haunt her.

Luke Egerton, the Duke of Norbury, is looking forward to his mother and her adopted daughter joining him for Christmastide in London. Seven years ago he was left heartbroken when Lady Claire confessed that she was in love with his best friend. From that day on, Luke vowed never to fall in love again.
When Diana’s and Luke’s paths cross they both feel an instant connection. But as feelings develop between them, a secret close to home threatens to shatter their blossoming love. Are Luke and Diana destined to be together for Christmastide or will their hidden secrets tear them apart?
