In What the Duke Desires, Jenna Petersen launches the first installment in her passionate new romance series about the illegitimate sons of a notorious duke brought together by love and deception. The Duke of Billingham must find a proper wife and continue his family’s exalted name—but the woman he desires may be the most unsuitable bride of all . . .

WILL A FEW FLIRTATIOUS STEPS Harry Norcliffe never wanted to inherit his beloved uncle's title. The rigidity of the ton, the incessant reminders from his marriage-minded mama that he must settle down with a highborn lady and produce an heir and a spare: it's all such a dreadful bore. So when his mother asks him to take part in a dancing competition, he patently refuses. The last thing he needs is another chore . . . until a beautiful, brilliant, delightfully tempting maid makes him rethink his position. LEAD TO A SCANDALOUS SEDUCTION? Most women would be over the moon to be pursued by a wickedly handsome-not to mention wealthy-duke like Norcliffe. But Lucy will not be any man's trophy. She could use a friend, though, and what begins innocently soon ignites into desire. As Lucy tries to resist Harry's scorching kisses, he makes an utterly irresistible offer. Enter the dance contest with him, and win a prize that could change her life forever . . . if falling in love doesn't change it first.

To win a prize that will redeem his shattered reputation, the Duke of Burville must masquerade as a commoner... Wentworth Rawley might be a duke, but his title means nothing after he voted against his peers and in favor of the Reform Act...mere months after being caught in an extraordinarily compromising position with an older lover at a public party. Isolated and alone, Wentworth would do anything to be accepted by the ton again. But when the opportunity to regain everything he's lost falls into his lap, he has to choose between the ton and the one man who has stood by him through the worst of times...the man he secretly loves...his valet, Jack. Jack Cotton rose from nothing to be the right-hand man of London's most notorious duke. He owes Wentworth everything, so when Wentworth turns to him for help with the strange quest that will restore him to his rightful place in society, Jack throws everything he has into the task. Everything including his heart. But as desperately as Jack loves Wentworth, he cannot declare that love. Wentworth is a duke, and the place in society he wants can only take him miles out of Jack's reach. That doesn't stop Jack from giving everything so that his beloved can have what he desires. Be careful what you wish for. It might stop you from getting what you truly desire! What a Duke Desires is a heartfelt story of two lost souls with only each other to rely on, a trek across England without the benefit of money or class, mischief in a hayloft, nasty nobles and vicious valets, an ball that no one wants to attend, and constant confusion about sleeping arrangements.
