The Hazards of Hunting a Duke
“He wasn’t surprised by the weather, really—as of late, it seemed as if the universe was conspiring against him.
He stood at the window of his town house that overlooked Grosveno r Square, watching the rivulets of rain run down the paned glass, the letter he’d received from his gamekeeper at Broderick Abbey crumpled in his hand.
