A scandalous countess plays matchmaker…for a man she once longed to take for herself.

Georgiana Whitcomb, Countess Winterbourne, is known as the Ice Countess for her rebellious ways and refusal to marry again. But a scandalous Christmas wager fashioned by Georgiana’s childhood obsession changes everything.

The demanding duke needs a bride…

Dexter Munro, mere days from becoming the Duke of Markham, made a promise to his dying father to find a wife by the Twelfth Night. Except the only woman he’s ever desired has vowed never to marry again. Not even to become his duchess.

Georgiana and Dex share a sizzling attraction and a wicked past…but is their scorching passion enough to melt the Ice Countess’ heart?

"Lush and romantic, The Ice Duchess weaves a beautiful tale of hidden desire and a second chance at love too long denied." ~ Sofie Darling, Award-Winning historical romance author

Not much to it.

4 ⭐️s it’s probably generous. The plot line wasn’t bad - long separated, lovers reunited. The outline of the characters wasn’t bad - a heroine determined to help other women; an unpretentious soon-to-be Duke with a passion for science as hero. But somehow it never came together.
The main characters were sketched so lightly that I couldn’t get a sense of who they were and I couldn’t become invested in them. The romance fell flat for me without that essential connection to the hero and heroine.
