Ellie St. Clair’s engrossing historical romance “He’s a Duke, But I Love Him” is set in the ton. Lady Olivia Jackson has given up on ever finding the man she is looking for someone who will give her the flexibility to live her life as she pleases after five seasons. Her greatest interests are not the usual pursuits of a woman. Olivia uses her intelligence to write a financial column under a false identity and longs for an exciting and adventurous life. Famous rake and charmer Alastair Finchley is made Duke of Breckenridge after his father passes away unexpectedly.
But the title also comes with enormous debt that his father accrued from playing at the racetrack and casino tables. Alastair is resolved to continue living a rakish life in all other respects, and he would not have chosen this life of responsibility. Olivia and Alastair are surprised by how much they want each other when they reintroduce themselves.
