My Thoughts

Zoe needs a husband to get access to her trust so she can help her mom. Things don't go very well when she meets the first candidate. The plan was to marry someone then divorce them later offering a bit of money as they go their own ways. His brother Nigel isn't on board with her plan and starts to develop feelings of his own for her. Nigel scarred from the war needs her to bring him out of the dark. Their romance while sweet and swoon worthy isn't as easy path.

I loved Zoe. She is full of life and is so spontaneous in many ways. I thought she complimented Nigel so well.

I give An American Duchess 4 hearts!

About the Book

About An American Duchess: Set on a crumbling English manor estate during the height of the Roaring Twenties, an American duchess must decide how much she's willing to risk for the life she truly desires…

It's 1922, and New York heiress Zoe Gifford longs for the freedoms promised by the Jazz Age. Headstrong and brazen, but bound by her father's will to marry before she can access his fortune, Zoe arranges for a brief marriage to Sebastian Hazelton, whose aristocratic British family sorely needs a benefactor.

Once in England, her foolproof plan to wed, inherit and divorce proves more complicated than Zoe had anticipated. Nigel Hazelton, Duke of Langford and Sebastian's older brother, is as austere and imposing as the family's ancestral estate. Still reeling from the Great War, Nigel is now staging a one-man battle against a rapidly changing world—and the outspoken Zoe represents everything he's fighting against.

When circumstances compel Zoe to marry Nigel rather than Sebastian, their heated quarrelling begets passion of another sort. But with Nigel unwilling to change with the times, will Zoe be forced to choose between her husband and her dreams?
