Description
At the height of the Roaring Twenties, New York heiress Zoe Gifford longs for the freedoms promised by the Jazz Age. Headstrong and brazen, but bound by her father's will to marry before she can access his fortune, Zoe arranges for a brief marriage to Sebastian Hazelton, whose aristocratic British family sorely needs a benefactor.
Once in England, her foolproof plan to wed, inherit and divorce proves more complicated than Zoe had anticipated. Nigel Hazelton, Duke of Langford and Sebastian's austere older brother, is disgraced by the arrangement and looks down upon the raucous young American who has taken up residence at crumbling Brideswell Abbey. Still reeling from the Great War, Nigel is now staging a one-man battle against a rapidly changing world—and the outspoken Zoe represents everything he's fighting against. When circumstances compel Zoe to marry Nigel rather than Sebastian, she does so for love, he for honor. But with Nigel unwilling to change with the times, Zoe may be forced to choose between her husband and her dreams.

        The peace and propriety of Nigel Hazelton's English estate is blindsided by the whirlwind that is Zoe Gifford. Zoe is an American socialite in need of a husband to free up her trust fund and amend her family's financial woes. Determined to remain an independent woman even in matrimony, Zoe breaks the social strictures to which Nigel securely holds, and the two find themselves juggling a precarious balance of duty and desire. Writing at a sparkling pace, Page gifts readers with characters who are rich in smart quips and sensitive insights. The story initially feels like a historical chick-lit tale but quickly reveals substantial depth in its exploration of such serious subject matters as the effects grief and loss have on a marriage. Your stomach will dip as you soar through the clouds in an airplane, and you will shiver from the chill of an icy night of skinny-dipping. An American Duchess is an electric romance novel charged with passion and sure to sweep readers back into the energy and life of the Roaring Twenties.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2014, American Library Association.)
