Seven Dukes of Sin: Book 5
Publication Date: October 27, 2026
He wants revenge. She wants freedom. Neither expected to want each other.
Archibald, Duke of Enveigh, is England’s most elegant predator. When his former friend the Duke of Eccess stole the woman Archibald wanted, he vowed revenge. The perfect weapon? Octavius’s innocent sister. Seduce her, ruin her, walk away.
Lady Mercy Everard has spent twenty years in French exile, studying stars and vowing never to marry for anything less than love. Now she’s thrust into London’s season as the talk of the ton: the Duke of Eccess’s long-lost sister, perfect prey for fortune hunters.
But Mercy isn’t like other debutantes. She sees through his practiced charm to the wounded man beneath. And she’s not afraid of him. When she challenges him to prove he’s more than another rake playing games, their secret alliance begins: he’ll teach her to survive the ton’s dangers.
As stolen moments in moonlit gardens turn into whispered confessions, Archibald realizes his fatal miscalculation—he’s falling for his mark.
When their forbidden attraction threatens to consume them both, only one choice remains: a desperate flight to Gretna Green with all of London in pursuit. But can a man who destroys everything he touches learn to love without destroying the woman who might save his soul?
Sometimes the deadliest sin is the one that redeems us.
The man who normally can seduce a woman in short order finds himself up against an intriguing obstacle.
Author delivers the fifth installment in the Seven Dukes of Sin series, featuring the Duke of Enveigh. While it and the others can be enjoyed as standalones, the connected characters deliver a delicious romp through Regency London.
Normally, the seven dukes present a unified front. However, Archibald has fallen out with Octavius, the Duke of Eccess. This rift threatens their brotherhood, especially when neither man seems interested in reconciliation.
Enter Lady Mercy Everard, Octavius’s younger sister. Her intelligence may mark her as a bluestocking, but her hand promises an extensive dowry—just what Archibald needs to replenish his coffers, although he’d never admit his precarious financial standing.
Toss in a foolish wager, a man set on revenge, and two people drawn together by a powerful attraction. The author once again delivers an important lesson as the characters deal with the aftermath.
Duke of Enveigh turns up the heat as the man used to playing games meets his match.
