The Duke Before Christmas

by Bianca Blythe

Overview

She accidentally proposed to a duke... then he accepted.
Marriage was only supposed to be a business arrangement; Portia wasn't supposed to fall in love. But then, Colin North, the Duke of Brightling, wasn't supposed to board the ship to Guernsey either.

Unfortunately, Portia isn't informed about a clause of her late father's will that stipulates that if she doesn't marry by the end of the year, she will lose her inheritance, until it is almost too late. She must find a husband herself: one who is not picky and requires money. Fortunately, she finds just the person.

Colin North, the Duke of Brightling, does not require a bride. But when he mistakenly takes the cabin of Portia's new betrothed on a ship bound for Guernsey, and she insists he marry her, he decides he may as well accept her offer. There's something appealing about her, and he can't abide the thought of ruining her life. After a decade of being chased by matchmaking mamas and simpering debutantes, it's a relief to find someone who doesn't know he's wealthy and titled.

Then the chaos begins.

About the Author

Born in Texas, Bianca Blythe spent four years in England. She worked in a fifteenth-century castle, though sadly that didn't actually involve spotting dukes and earls strutting about in Hessians.

She credits British weather for forcing her into a library, where she discovered her first Julia Quinn novel. She remains deeply grateful for blustery downpours.

After meeting her husband in another library, she moved with him to sunny California, though on occasion she still dreams of the English seaside, scones with clotted cream, and sheep-filled pastures. For now, she visits them in her books.
