THE TROUBLE WITH HER DUKE.jpg

A wife is the last thing he needs. A husband is the last thing she wants.

A widower who refuses to remarry.

Grayson Devereaux, the Sixth Duke of Bedford, doesn’t want a wife. He needs a governess; they keep quitting. Grayson’s energetic, seven-year-old twins need someone with stamina—a woman that can provide a firm hand, stability, and guidance. And someone who doesn’t run screaming from the room when they find a toad under their pillow.

A spinster who refuses to marry.
Miss Lydia Hammond lost her mother in childbirth and equates marriage with not only the loss of her freedom, but a risk she is unwilling to take. She’s happy being unwed and mistress of her own life. When her wealthy merchant father insists she marry a competitor’s son to grow their empire, Lydia escapes the alter and accepts a position as governess for the Duke of Bedford and his children. But as Lydia grows to care for the children and their father, she begins to wonder what she’s missing.

As an unlikely friendship blossoms between Lydia and Grayson, his former mistress contrives to destroy their happiness. Can Lydia and Grayson overcome the past to have a future?

★★★★★ “This was a feel good read with great characters, a sweet puppy, some adventure, not a lot of steam, has some laugh out loud moments, and was just an all-around enjoyable book.” ~ K. Hudecek

“This is a fun, entertaining read with lots of family interactions and some action with a vindictive ex-girlfriend.” ~ MT

“This is a perfect book for lovers of historical romance who enjoy stories with strong heroines, brooding heroes, and adorable children. I highly recommend this book to anyone who loves a good romance with a happy ending.” ~ Lana

“The Trouble with her Duke is a lighthearted enjoyable read. Anna St Clair has given readers a book that is well-written, filled it with characters that come to life and you find yourself drawn into their story, passion, laugh out loud situations, energetic twins, strong family relationship, with an ex-mistress who tries to ruin their relationship.” ~ Kindle Customer 123

“A fun, heartwarming and sweet, class divide, romance that connects our, so easy to love, leads on equal footing from the first. This is definitely one of my new favourite tales by St Claire. I just loved the way it flowed, the slow burn pace that fluidly revealed, made me smile and entwined me into their simmering rich chemistry as their attraction engagingly built and thrummed with a quiet, tummy swooning tension from first collision.” ~ Sandra

 

BOXING WITH MY DUKE

Boxing with My Duke

How do you stop someone else’s wedding? The Duke of Richmond and Lady Catherine Campbell are about to find out!

Heaven help him from meddling spinsters…

The last thing Carlton Coleman, the Duke o
f Richmond, needs is Lady Catherine Campbell picking fights with his bouncers and rampaging through the halls of his peaceful gentleman's club looking for her brother Edward. When Carlton finds out the young earl has eloped with Serafina, his naïve young ward, he offers to escort the stubborn spinster to Gretna Green to stop the wedding before it’s too late.

Heaven help her from arrogant dukes…
Catherine is so worried about Edward that she is willing to do anything to bring him home, even accompanying the cavalier duke. Her heart clenches with concern for her impulsive brother, knowing the possible consequences of his rash actions.


Will they be able to stop the wedding in time? Thrown together by misunderstandings, mishaps, and a mysterious puppy named Riggs—Carlton and Catherine set off on a wild ride through the craggy countryside, facing possible danger and unpredictable weather as they navigate through both the treacherous terrain of the countryside and the tumultuous landscape of their own hearts.

“Extremely well written, fast paced novella. Has everything you need to enjoy - drama, romance, love adventure, laughs, action, highwaymen, family issues, and the Ton. The action keeps you on your toes and wanting more. A real page turner. Would recommend to everyone.” ~ Rose

"Characters well defined and some secondary characters added leading the reader to expect more books to come along. I love short stories, so this one was perfect all the way around. Great story!!!” ~ Jo

“A sweet romance with an interesting storyline which has enough twists and turns and events that allows the development of the characters. Their attempt to avoid their attraction to each other in order to complete their rescue is foiled by the customs of their surroundings and they realize they are happy with both outcomes. I enjoyed it.”~ Mary Willard

“Even though it's a short read, with a nice epilogue, it's a well-written, full story. I liked this short, funny read and I think you will too.”~ TG

“An absolutely delicious novella, I loved both Carlton & Catherine, the chemistry between them sizzled, the banter was witty. I love a road trip & this was some road trip with highwaymen, a puppy & one room at the inn. I read it in a sitting & thoroughly enjoyed every page” ~ Janet
