The Duke's Price is a historical romance novel written by Demetra Vaka Brown and first published in 1910. The story is set in the 18th century and follows the life of a young woman named Lila, who is the daughter of a wealthy merchant. Lila is beautiful, intelligent, and independent, but she is also headstrong and determined to marry for love rather than for money or status.When Lila meets the Duke of Dorchester, she is immediately drawn to him, but she soon discovers that he is not interested in love or marriage. Instead, the Duke offers Lila a proposition - he will pay her a large sum of money to become his mistress for a year. Lila is outraged by the Duke's proposal, but she is also intrigued by his offer and decides to accept it.As Lila becomes the Duke's mistress, she begins to see a different side of him. She discovers that he is not the cold-hearted rake that she thought he was, but a man who is haunted by his past and deeply wounded by the loss of his wife and child. As Lila and the Duke grow closer, they both start to question their feelings for each other and wonder if they could have a future together.The Duke's Price is a captivating and emotional tale of love, passion, and sacrifice. It explores the themes of class, gender, and social norms in a time when women were expected to marry for money and status rather than love. Brown's writing is rich and vivid, bringing to life the sights, sounds, and smells of 18th century England. The book is a must-read for fans of historical romance and anyone who loves a good love story.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
