About this listen

Oxford, 1879. A beautiful bluestocking is about to teach a duke a lesson....

Brilliant but destitute Annabelle Archer is one of the first female students at Oxford University. In return for her scholarship, she must recruit influential men to champion the rising women's suffrage movement. Her first target is Sebastian Devereux: cold, calculating and the most powerful duke in England.

When Annabelle and her friends infiltrate his luxurious estate, she's appalled to find herself attracted to the infuriatingly intelligent aristocrat - but perhaps she's not the only one struggling with desire....

Soon Annabelle is locked in a battle with rising passion and a will matching her own. She'll need to learn fast just what it takes to bring down a duke.

Critic reviews

"I have read the future of historical romance, and it's Evie Dunmore." (Eva Leigh, author of Dare to Love a Duke)

"Evie Dunmore's debut is a marvel...a witty, richly detailed, historically significant, and achingly romantic celebration of the power of love and the passionate fight for women's rights." (Chanel Cleeton, best-selling author of Next Year in Havana)

"Dazzles and reminds us all why we fell in love with historical romance." (Julia London, New York Times best-selling author of Seduced by a Scot)

All romance lovers and regency romance lovers must pick this up. From the romance to the witty humour and best of all how you really feel the characters, absolutely loved this and didn't disappoint when I read it the 2nd time round.

An absolute favourite!

A really lovely relationship between the live-wire suffragist and bachelor duke, that grew organically and sensitively. The reason for the three stars is that towards the end, I felt the story dragged on a little and was frustrating at times; I wasn’t left totally satisfied as a reader. However I loved our heroine and the discourse around the conflict of wanting independence and love. Overall a good read that I would recommend!

A feminist dream!

It's fiction but, even so, an English queen in 1898 would never have meddled directly in politics. I could have gone along with this nonsense had not reality intruded when Disraeli was named.

Farfetched
