Ten girls - Ten dares in a hat. Who will dare to risk it all?

To Dare a Duke

Dreams of true love and happy ever afters.

Dreams of love are all well and good, but all Prunella Chuffington-Smythe wants is to publish her novel. Marriage at the price of her independence is something she will not consider. Having tasted success writing under a false name in The Lady’s Weekly Review, her alter ego is attaining notoriety and fame and Prue rather likes it.

A Duty that must be endured.

Robert Adolphus, The Duke of Bedwin, is in no hurry to marry, he’s done it once and repeating that disaster is the last thing he desires. Yet, an heir is a necessary evil for a duke and one he cannot shirk. A dark reputation precedes him though, his first wife may have died young, but the scandals the beautiful, vivacious, and spiteful creature supplied the ton have not. A wife must be found. A wife who is neither beautiful or vivacious but sweet and dull, and certain to stay out of trouble.

Dared to do something drastic.

The sudden interest of a certain dastardly duke is as bewildering as it is unwelcome. She’ll not throw her ambitions aside to marry a scoundrel just as her plans for self-sufficiency and freedom are coming to fruition. Surely showing the man she’s not actually the meek little wallflower he is looking for should be enough to put paid to his intentions? When Prue is dared by her friends to do something drastic, it seems the perfect opportunity to kill two birds.

However, Prue cannot help being intrigued by the rogue who has inspired so many of her romances. Ordinarily, he plays the part of handsome rake, set on destroying her plucky heroine. But is he really the villain of the piece this time, or could he be the hero?

Finding out will be dangerous, but it just might inspire her greatest story yet.

Happy listening!

Warning: This audiobook contains a careful selection of quiet determination, resolute tight-lipped-ness and (almost) insurmountable levels of tension. Although coupled with the presence of occasionally descriptive sexual encounters, we are very pleased to highlight that this audiobook - and series - is in no way verging on erotica.

To Dare a Duke - Emma Leech

I absolutely loved this book and have started the second one. Ms. Leech is a great writer and having Philip Battley read the books, well, it can't get much better than that.

Dare a duke

Fun story. The narrator was good to listen to. I enjoyed the story. She’s one tough women to stand up for herself.

Wonderfully story.

I loved that Pru was a writer & for the time as independent as she could be. All the characters were well written. The story was romantic, with some anguish, entertaining, & left me curious about the other characters. I was surprised that Mr. Battley was the narrator at first, however he did such a great job of portraying the characters & giving them a voice of their own. It was a joy to listen too.

Engaging characters

The smart one, the shy one, the bold one, the angry one, the one who's been hurt, and more women, are compelled to take on dares that bring out their inner selves. This story belongs to Pru and how she learns to see beyond the surface and into hearts, especially Robert's.

Love it

Love the storyline! Ready to hear the rest of the girls stories. Love the man fell in love first.
