The Duke of Desire

Written by Darcy Burke

Narrated by Marian Hussey

Ten years ago Ivy Breckenridge’s life was ruined. She had to reinvent herself, and now, after painstakingly making her own way in the world, she’s nearly forgotten the dreams of home and family she’d once nurtured. Until one man peers into her soul and awakens every one of her hidden desires. But no matter how good he makes her feel, she can’t trust him—alone by choice is better than alone by necessity.

With a notorious reputation for training married women in the art of passion, Sebastian Westgate, Duke of Clare, is reviled by some and celebrated by others. He doesn’t allow anyone close enough to see past his charming exterior. When Ivy uncovers the man beneath, the seducer is suddenly the seduced. Enraptured by her mind and spirit, he wants more but revealing his darkest secrets is a price he won’t pay.

Darcy Burke

Darcy Burke is the USA Today bestselling author of hot, action-packed historical and sexy, emotional, contemporary romance. Darcy wrote her first book at age eleven, a happily-ever-after about a swan addicted to magic and the female swan that loved him, with exceedingly poor illustrations. A native Oregonian, Darcy lives on the edge of wine country with her guitar-strumming husband, their two hilarious kids who seem to have inherited the writing gene, and three Bengal cats. In her “spare” time, Darcy is a serial volunteer enrolled in a twelve-step program where one learns to say “no,” but she keeps having to start over. She’s also a fair-weather runner, and her happy places are Disneyland and Labor Day weekend at the Gorge.

Reviews for The Duke of Desire

[sarinhamac48 · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

I liked Ivy & I I really liked West!

However, I can't say that I loved the story... there was something that didn't quite grab me...

It was OK, but nowhere as good as the first 2 for me... I definitely prefer it to the 3rd though...

I didn’t like the character of the duke very much in this story. Still throughly enjoyable book. Rags to riches. Worth the read

[STEPHANIE MCMAHON · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

The duke in this story is an amazing person. I liked that he really cared for and helped his women. Good. Book for women to share with their men if more intimacy is needed.

[Marcilla Elliott · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

I very much enjoyed Ivy's story. During the preceding books in the series, I was curious about her determined stance not to marry. This book did not disappoint.

The Duke of desire was not as interesting as those i have read earlier. Not that it is a bad book. Its a really good story. I wish Clare's mum was not such a witch but it is what it is
