Book excerpt: A dazzling Regency romance from bestselling author Jane Ashford. Life is predictable for a Duke's first son. Or so he once thought... He was delighted that she shared this pleasure with him. And how lovely she looked, out here on the water. The wind had whipped color into her cheeks. Her sandy hair leaped and curled around her face. And her gray eyes shimmered and sparkled. Violet's beauty—for it was undoubtedly beauty—arose from animation, he realized. When she was subdued and distant, as she'd always been when he saw her before their marriage, it was hidden. A secret, like the flower she was named for, obscured by broader leaves in the forest. But now he'd discovered a different Violet—vibrant, responsive. Watching her laugh as spray spattered her sleeve, he felt extremely fortunate. His instincts had somehow led him to a prize. As eldest son of the Duke of Langford, Nathaniel Gresham sees his arranged marriage to Lady Violet Devere as just another obligation to fulfill?highly suitable, if unexciting. But as Violet sets out to transform herself from dowdy wallflower to dazzling young duchess-to-be, proper Nathaniel sets out to prove he's a match for his new bride's vivacity and daring. Oppressed by her family all her life—especially her domineering and horrible grandmother—Lady Violet can't wait to enjoy the freedom of being a married woman. But then Violet learns her family's sordid secret, and she's faced with an impossible choice?does she tell Nathaniel and risk losing him, or does she hide it and live a lie?

Book excerpt: Marie, Maria, Marcelle, May, Mary, Maggie ... and the Duke of WindsorEdward, known to his inner circle as David, was the eldest son of King George V and Queen Mary of Teck. Within the family he was often referred to as Young David - a title he abhorred. He was invested as Edward, Prince of Wales on his sixteenth birthday, just nine weeks after his father, King George V, succeeded his grandfather as king in 1910.In 1936, upon the death of his father, Edward succeeded him as King Edward VIII. In the shortest reign in the last 450 years of British Kings and Queens, Edward abdicated 236 days later in favour of his brother when the British Government refused consent to his proposed marriage to Wallis Simpson. The American socialite had already divorced one husband who was alive and being still married, was intending to divorce her current husband to allow them to marry.As a young man, David served with the British Army in France during the First World War. In the years following, George V's relationship with his eldest son and heir, deteriorated. The king became increasingly disappointed in David's failure to settle down in life and was appalled by the continual reports of his very public relationships with mainly well-known, but married women.The first of his many trysts over the years, however, was quite different - his first not only continued as a love affair for nearly three years but resulted in the birth of a son in Paris in 1916 whilst the Prince was on active service in France... and remained a close-held secret. This is the incredible true story of the only son of Edward VIII ‒ later to become the Duke of Windsor and marry Wallis Simpson.
