The Ghost Duke Who Loved Me by Cynthia Hunt Book PDF Summary
What are the chances a bright young woman of no means, no title, and no future will find all three of those in a haunted hunting lodge in the middle of the Yorkshire woods? Surprisingly good. And if the key to her future is a love she never could have imagined? Falling in love with a Duke is one thing.... Falling in love with a Duke who's been dead nearly a century is another... But even without a murderous fiancee tracking her down, what kind of future can a human woman have with a ghost? She just wants a life of her own... Lady Lisette Havens has never had a choice. Not when her parents died, not when her boor of an uncle raised her, and especially not when said uncle sold her off to the lecherous Marquess of Ulster in exchange for a racehorse... So when fate intervenes on the way to the wedding, Lisette makes her own choice: freedom. Running for her life, she flees into the woods and finds shelter in a crumbling estate, but she is not alone... He was having the time of his afterlife.... Peregrine Aston, 14th Duke of Stafford, has been alone for nearly a century, unless one counts rats and owls. He, for one, does not, and he prefers it this way. The last thing a ghost needs is company. Or so Perry thought, until one stormy night a fearless auburn-haired beauty breaks into his peaceful old hunting lodge and turns his world upside down. The handsome and irascible Duke hasn't had a body for decades, let alone a heart, but Lisette makes him feel more alive than he ever did when he still had a pulse. Unfortunately, a dead man has no future to share, and if Lisette's betrothed finds her, neither will she. A charming and light Gothic Regency Romance featuring some paranormal themes, a little action, some adventure, some spice, and a lot of fun. The Ghost Duke Who Loved Me is the first installment of the Dearly Departed Dukes series in which four ghostly (and ducal!) brothers each meet their match- brave, smart, and bold women who aren't afraid of ghosts... and just might be their salvation. This book, while part of a series, is a stand alone novel and can be read alone or in any order with the rest of The Dearly Departed Dukes! *Reading them all in order is recommended, but that is purely author's (admittedly bias!) preference. FOR FANS OF: Georgette Heyer, Tessa Dare, Sarah MacLean and stories like The Ghost & Mrs. Muir and Jane Eyre!
