The Duke: Number 1 in series Foley, Gaelen

Regency London, 1817. Robert Knight, the Duke of Hawkscliffe, is England's most notorious rake — wealthy, titled, and utterly uninterested in marriage. But when his wild lifestyle threatens his family's reputation, he's given an ultimatum: find a suitable bride or lose his inheritance. Enter Belinda Hamilton, a young woman whose beauty masks a sharp mind and a determination to avoid becoming just another trophy wife. What begins as a convenient arrangement spirals into something far more dangerous — desire, wit, and a battle of wills neither can afford to lose. Gaelen Foley's debut launches her Duke series with swooning ballrooms, scandalous wagers, and enough chemistry to set the page on fire. For anyone who wants historical romance with bite, banter, and a hero worth reforming.
