The Duke That I Marry: A Spinster Heiresses Novel
(Adobe EPUB eBook, Kindle Book, OverDrive Read)
Once upon a time there were three young ladies who, despite their fortunes, had been on the marriage mart a bit too long. They were known as "the Spinster Heiresses" . . .
Is it wrong for a woman to want more?
Not if she is a Spinster Heiress. They do not settle. Any young miss would be very lucky to find herself promised to a man like the Duke of Camberly. However, Miss Willa Reverly has watched her friends marry for love. Camberly may be the prize of the season, but she will not be "sold" to any man. She wants his devotion or she wants nothing at all.
When is a Marriage of Convenience inconvenient?
Newly named to the ducal title, Matthew Addison is determined to discover the secrets behind Mayfield, the bankrupt estate he has inherited. He doesn't have time to coddle a headstrong heiress who is determined to ditch him over something as silly as "love." Little does he know that his questions will place her in jeopardy. Now he must do what he must to save them both.
Could it be that in running from danger they might be racing headlong into a truly unexpected fate: falling in love?

Wanted for her money, a woman holds out for love in the third book in the Spinster Heiresses series (A Match Made in Bed, 2018, etc.).Matthew Addison is a duke without an inheritance. His family fortune has been steadily dwindling ever since a blackmailer discovered a shocking family secret. Willa Reverly is an heiress without a title, and after three unsuccessful seasons, she's in danger of remaining a spinster. Their pending marriage will be a love match, if what they love is money. But after reading a book of poems Matt wrote for his estranged mistress, Willa decides she will settle for nothing less than the feelings that inspired him to write such tender words. She jilts Matt the day before their wedding, forcing him to try to win her heart for real. Though Matt is reluctant to fall in love again, he can't deny his attraction to Willa and rises quickly to the challenge, and they reschedule their nuptials. But after a disastrous wedding night, he has an even harder time earning her trust--and when the blackmailer returns, he might lose her for good. The historical details are thought-provoking: In the Regency-era setting, the couple doesn't expect to marry for love, and an affair is only shocking when the lovers are of the same sex, a topic that's handled with care. But the topic of consent is treated unevenly. At first, Matt, who towers over his tiny bride, takes his time to make her comfortable. But when she asks him to stop, he doesn't. Then he denies his humiliated bride her privacy, even to take a bath and use the chamber pot. When he takes a step back and proves he can control his urges, their love blossoms to great effect. But although Willa changes her mind about him, readers might not.The story begins and ends with a swoon, but the headstrong heroine endures too much in between.COPYRIGHT(2018) Kirkus Reviews, ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.

Wealthy Willa Reverly had hoped to marry for love, but when Matthew Addison, the newly minted but woefully impoverished Duke of Camberly, offers for her, her father gives her no choice but to accept. Despite her unsuccessful attempt to jilt Matt, Willa marries him and hopes for the best, never thinking she'll be drawn into the web of a vicious blackmailer who bankrupted Matt's family and whom Matt is now determined to unmask. VERDICT With quick-witted plotting, delicious chemistry, sparkling wit, and a serious dollop of danger, Maxwell delivers another Regency gem and gives the third of her spinster heiress heroines a husband who is definitely worth loving. Maxwell (If Ever I Should Love You; A Match Made in Bed) lives in Buda, TX.
