If you've been following me the past few years, you already know how much I've enjoyed Harper St. George's Gilded Age/Victorian historical romances. This past April, St. George published The Stranger I Wed (read my review) which launched her The Doves of New York series. This new series features an interesting take on American Dollar Princesses. Rather than the pampered, legitimate daughters of wealthy industry icons, the Dove sisters are the cast aside, illegitimate daughters of a member of one of New York's wealthiest founding families who must marry British aristocrats in order to collect their inheritances. Makes them all the more interesting, in my opinion!
Besides her wonderful stories that keep me reading way too late into the night, St. George's books are also known for their stunningly beautiful, rich, jewel-toned covers. Her next book in the series is no exception. I'm delighted to share the cover reveal for book two of The Doves of New York: Eliza and the Duke!
Eliza and the Duke will be published on June 24, 2025 but is available now for preorder at the following link: https://bit.ly/3YS5G3K. It goes without saying that I have already preordered my copy.
American heiress Eliza Dove was resigned to a polite marriage of convenience...until she spent one wicked night with the Duke.
All hopeless romantic Eliza Dove asked for was one night of adventure. One glorious evening of freedom to explore the dark corners of London with a mysterious stranger before a lifetime trapped in a quiet, respectable marriage of convenience. Except now she wants more. Now she wants him.
Simon Cavell is no gentleman. Known only as ‘the Duke,’ Whitechapel’s prize boxer is one fight away from achieving his goal: to safeguard his late sister’s only treasure and leave the streets for good. He cannot allow some pretty young heiress to spill his secrets, no matter how tempting she might be. In return for her silence, Simon will give Eliza a taste of the darkness…and hope he doesn’t lose his heart in the process.
But one night together could never be enough. And now Eliza has a new plan—an even more scandalous bargain that will either land the heiress her duke or ruin them both.
I love historical romances! I’m surprised I haven’t heard of Harper St George. I’m always up for trying new authors.
ReplyDeleteHappy Holidays!
I have read novels by this author which are captivating and wonderful. I enjoy Gilded Age stories. Historicals are my favorite.
ReplyDeleteI haven't read any of Harper's books yet, but I do love Historical Romance so I guess I should.
ReplyDeleteThis is a new to me author. I love the plot of this book. And Yes ----that cover is a knockout!
ReplyDeleteSince I accidentally found Judith McNaught, I have been in love with historical romance. I was someone who never could imagine why anyone would like this stuff. I was dumber than a box of rocks. I need strong characters and a good plot. Then I am worthless until I finish the story.
Thanks so much for the review and the introduction to this author.
I haven't read any of Elizabeth St George's books yet. I adore historical romance!
