Say Yes to the Duke

Considering that wallflower debutante Viola Astley can’t attend a ball without wanting to throw up, only a quiet and reserved husband will suit her shy temperament—someone like her parish’s new vicar, the serious and handsome Reverend Marlowe. What she doesn’t need is a husband like the opinionated Devin Elstan, Duke of Wynter, whom she overhears insulting her in a library. Their families are in favor of the match, however, and Devin begins to regret his initial judgment when he discovers Viola’s hidden charms. Even when Viola agrees to marry him, Devin’s trust issues cause his jealousy to flare, particularly as Viola and Marlowe work together to stage a production of the story of Noah’s Ark to raise money for the parish. Viola, meanwhile, can’t understand why her husband doesn’t see that she’s completely besotted with him.
