I Never Forget a Duke
His past may have escaped his memory, but his future is looking bright!
Hugh Baxter, the twelfth Duke of Swynford, is one of the most powerful men in England. Then one night he is hit over the head by an unknown assailant and left for dead on the streets of London.
Adele Paulson is the daughter of an earl of dubious character, and after the death of her fiancé, she’s resigned herself to life as a spinster. But when she witnesses a man being thrown from a carriage one night, she decides to bring him into her home. When he comes to, he has no idea who he is.
Adele and the handsome stranger begin to fall for each other as they search for his identity. A news story about the missing Duke of Swynford leads Adele to connect that her stranger and the duke are one and the same. But as Hugh begins to recover his memories, he does not want to leave Adele behind. Although everyone disapproves of their relationship—including his mother and his closest friends—Hugh is determined to have Adele as his wife.
But before they can settle into their life of married bliss, Hugh must also find who wants him dead.
