About this listen

What's a duke to do, when the girl who's perfectly wrong becomes the woman he can't live without?

Griffin York, the Duke of Halford, has no desire to wed this season - or any season - but his diabolical mother abducts him to "Spinster Cove" and insists he select a bride from the ladies in residence. Griff decides to teach her a lesson that will end the marriage debate forever. He chooses the serving girl.

Overworked and struggling, Pauline Simms doesn't dream about dukes. All she wants is to hang up her barmaid apron and open a bookshop. That dream becomes a possibility when an arrogant, sinfully attractive duke offers her a small fortune for a week's employment. Her duties are simple: Submit to his mother's "duchess training"…and fail miserably.

But in London, Pauline isn't a miserable failure. She's a brave, quick-witted, beguiling failure - a woman who ignites Griff's desire and soothes the darkness in his soul. Keeping Pauline by his side won't be easy. Even if Society could accept a serving girl duchess - can a roguish duke convince a serving girl to trust him with her heart?

Congratulations to you Tessa!
I’ve read so many of your stories by now and can’t wait for Nicola’s story in 2023! The characters of Pauline and Griff were absolutely fabulous. You’ve got such a way with metaphors and creating heart warming scenes - I truly admire!
And what a thrill to hear Eva’s narration! She’s right in line with Mary-Jane for me!
Such a pleasure!

Fab story, great narrator

Initially, wasn’t drawn to this story because I couldn’t fathom a barmaid marrying a Duke in actual Regency times, but bravo to Tessa Dare for cleverly weaving her tale in a way that made it possible. There were many likeable characters and funny moments. The narration made this an enjoyable listening experience. I recommend this and the rest of the books in the Spindler Cove series.

Loved it
