Octavius Mortimer John
Allardyce, the sixth Duke of Trent has found the woman that he wishes
to marry, only to find that his younger (twin) brother, Cedric,
proposed to the same woman earlier that evening.
American heiress, Merry
Pelford, left behind jilted two finances in America and is hoping
that the third engagement is a charm when she accepts Lord Cedric
Allardyce's proposal.
Trent always assumed
that he would marry a proper English lady, but now that he's met
Merry, he's determined to do whatever it takes to win her hand away
from his brother, who wishes to marry her for less than honorable
reasons.

I love Eloisa
James's books! Her characters are so much fun to read and I can
picture them as they dance across London's ballrooms. I love the bits
of humor she sprinkles into the stories as her characters find their
way to love.
My American Duchess was
one of those books that I found impossible to put down. I loved
reading about Merry and Trent as they discovered their passion and
love for each other, overcoming the obstacles before them. Merry was
trying hard to become a lady and Trent needed to let go of his desire
for a proper wife, thankfully he realize that he loved Merry as she
was before she changed.
Merry was concerned
that she possessed a fickle heart when she found herself falling in
love with Trent, while engaged to his brother, though learning that
Cedric wasn't the man he had portrayed himself to be made her choice
much easier. I was a bit put-off with her indecisiveness, though it
was fitting for her character.
I hope that Ms.
James writes Cedric's story, because the epilogue leads us to believe
that he found redemption...
From the Publisher:
The arrogant Duke of Trent intends to marry a well-bred Englishwoman. The last woman he would ever consider marrying is the adventuresome Merry Pelford— an American heiress who has infamously jilted two fiancés.
But after one provocative encounter with the captivating Merry, Trent desires her more than any woman he has ever met. He is determined to have her as his wife, no matter what it takes. And Trent is a man who always gets what he wants.
The problem is, Merry is already betrothed, and the former runaway bride has vowed to make it all the way to the altar. As honor clashes with irresistible passion, Trent realizes the stakes are higher than anyone could have imagined. In his battle to save Merry and win her heart, one thing becomes clear:
All is fair in love and war.
