Winifred Witton ~ The Duke's Double

Back of the Book:

LOVE BY THE BOOK... After her papa's death left her nearly penniless Celeste Moreau packed her portmanteau and sailed away from France. Once in Britain, she would heed the advice of her favorite novel and snare a duke (not a baronet, for they were always rogues!). All she had to do was to arrive at Ault Castle and pretend to be a governess. Lord Ault would see hand voila! Lose his heart.

Zult alors!... a match with a nobleman was not so simple. The foppish lord already had a fiancee named Marianna – and she had just been abducted! That was how Celeste met Sir Geoffrey Cole Marianna's guardian – and a wickedly handsome baronet! One look, and Celeste swooned. One kiss, and she knew what to expect: seduction and certain ruin. Unless she could make this baronet act out of character – and marry for love!

Quotes from the Book:

• Looking at it, it was impossible to tell if it was a white animal with patches of brown, or possibly a bay splashed with white. It stood splay-footed, motionless as a statue carved from stone, its head hanging and eyes closed, apparently asleep. Pg 42
• Geoff had an uncomfortable feeling he'd made an error. He tried to carry it off, hoping the man would think him eccentric. “Let us say it is a whim.” He tossed over a whole half-crown, the first coin he got his hand on, and knew for sure the innkeeper thought him insane, but it couldn't be helped. Pg 81
• They began a thorough search for secret hiding holes, loose stones, or projecting carvings that might turn or press in to release the mechanism of a drawer or trapdoor. At the end of nearly an hour, they met at the back of the vault, having found no treasure hidden among the dozen coffins. Only dust, dead leaves blown in by the wind, and tattered cobwebs; even the spiders had departed. Pg 155
