Bringing Down The Duke (League Of Extraordinary Women #1)

Description

A fiercely independent vicar's daughter takes on a powerful duke in a love story that threatens to upend the British social order . . .

England, 1879. Annabelle Archer, the brilliant but destitute daughter of a country vicar, has earned herself a place among the first group of female students at the renowned University of Oxford. In return for her scholarship, she must support the rising women's suffrage movement.

Her charge: recruit men of influence to champion women's rights.

Her target: Sebastian Devereux, the cold and calculating Duke of Montgomery.

Her challenge: deny the powerful attraction she has for the man who opposes everything she stands for.

Sebastian is looking for a wife to secure the legacy he has worked so hard to rebuild, not an outspoken commoner who could never be his duchess. While he's appalled to find a suffragist squad has infiltrated his ducal home, the real threat is not being able to resist green-eyed beauty Annabelle. But he wouldn't be the greatest strategist of the Kingdom if he couldn't claim this alluring bluestocking without the promise of a ring.

Locked in a battle with rising passion and a will matching her own, Annabelle will learn just what it takes to topple a duke . . .
