The Runaway Duke Grace, Susan

**The Runaway Duke** by Grace Susan is the kind of historical romance that'll have you canceling dinner plans to keep reading. When the rakish Duke of Westmere fakes his own death to escape an arranged marriage, he never expected to fall for the feisty innkeeper's daughter who's hiding secrets of her own. What starts as a game of deception turns into something far more dangerous—real feelings.

This Regency romp serves up witty banter, steamy chemistry, and enough plot twists to keep even seasoned romance readers guessing. Perfect for fans of Julia Quinn or anyone who loves their dukes with a side of mischief and their heroines with serious backbone. The themes of identity, class, and choosing love over duty feel surprisingly fresh in Susan's capable hands.

This preloved paperback from Patina Paperbacks shows some gentle wear but all the swoon-worthy moments remain intact.
