The Discarded Duke
Nancy Butler
Shepherd's Delight
Nearly destitute, Ursula Roarke agrees to sell her late
husband's bloodstock to the Duke of Ardsley. But the wily
widow has an ulterior motive in visiting the peer's
property in Devon: She hopes to entice him into marriage.
Never does she imagine that a handsome sheepherder will
jeopardize her plan--and win her heart.
William Ridd has spent years breeding the best wool-bearing
sheep in England for Ardsley. And he blames Ursula alone
for the duke's decision to replace the flocks with horses.
Still, Ridd cannot long deny the redhead's tempting charms.
But the love of a beautiful woman may not be enough to
conquer his fear that a secret from long ago will destroy
any future happiness.
