_______

For a Knight to win the Princess, he first must slay his dragons…

A tragic event in his youth led Gavin Knight's mother to whisk him to Rome, where he lived a simple but secluded life-until, on her deathbed, she revealed who he truly was: the Duke of Cortleon.

Now twenty-nine, Gavin has returned to England, determined to learn what happened all those years ago. Despite charming his fellow lords and ladies alike, the new Duke disregards any notion of nuptials, as his honor first demands resolution--and retribution.

Then he meets Lady Elinor Greene.

For seven years, renowned beauty Elinor has refused all proposals, fearing marriage would curb her freedom. But when her family falls on hard times, Nelle must sacrifice herself to save them by marrying a man of means.

A wealthy widower seems the logical choice, a passionless union perfect. Until she meets the Duke of Cortleon, and learns one Knight can be legendary.

Soon Gavin and Elinor must each decide which quest is worth more: that for honor, or that for love...

Series: Put Up Your Dukes, Book 2

Genre: Regency historical romance (and my author also says it's historical suspense!)

Length: 108,000 words / 438 pages

_______

Though Book 2 in the series, The Legendary Duke can be read as a standalone - particularly because it ended up being set a year before Book 1, The Demon Duke. (Oops.)

For Arthurian legend fans, The Legendary Duke is loosely based on the tale of Gawain and the Green Knight, and Arthurian Easter eggs pop up throughout!

Autorenporträt

Margaret Locke, 2018 RITA® Finalist and USA Today Bestselling Author of the Magic of Love and Put Up Your Dukes series, writes binge-worthy romance that keeps you up past your bedtime. She delights in making readers laugh, cry, and think. Because love matters.

You can usually find her in front of some sort of screen (electronic or window); she's come to terms with the fact she's not an outdoors person. Newly obsessed with coffee, she also fangirls over Jane Austen, history, cats, books, and Colin Morgan.

When not writing, Margaret adores spending time with her fabulous husband, two fantastic kids, and three funny felines. And chocolate. Don't forget chocolate.

Margaret loves to talk romance with fellow readers and writers. Find her here:
