The Duel
Barbara Metzger
From the award-winning author of A Perfect Gentleman and Wedded Bliss comes an enchanting tale about an imperfect earl and the picture perfect woman who teaches him that love is always worth fighting for…
If only he could go back in time. Then Ian, the Earl of
Marden, would not have dueled, and he would not have hit an
innocent bystandera sickly lad, no less. And he
certainly would never have brought the boy’s sister, Athena
Renslow, to stay at his house without a chaperone. Now, on top of it all, the nineteen-year-old beauty is
under the mistaken impression that Ian is the gentle hero
who rescued her brotherinstead of the rogue who
practically killed him… Unable to find her a respectable duenna, Ian resolves to do
the honorable thing. But Athena won’t let the wealthy,
handsome bachelor sacrifice everything by marrying a
country nobody, despite the urgings of both their
familiesand the desire of both their hearts…
