Autumn Duchess: A Georgian Historical Romance (Roxton Family Saga Book 2)
Roxton Family Saga: Dair and Rory’s Happily Ever After
1770s London and Hampshire.
Alisdair ‘Dair’ Fitzstuart, hero of the American Revolutionary war and heir to an earldom, known by all as a self-centered womanizing rogue. But his dashing and rugged façade hides a vulnerable man with a traumatic past. He will gamble with his life, but never his heart, which remains his own.
Aurora ‘Rory’ Talbot, is a spinster and pineapple fancier who lives on the periphery of Polite Society. An observer but never observed, her fragile beauty hides conviction and a keen intelligence. Ever optimistic, she will not be defined by disability.
One fateful night Dair and Rory collide, and the attraction is immediate, the consequences profound. Both will risk everything for love.

“Politics and intrigue, at home and abroad, and secrets and lies a great and powerful family needs conceal! Readers avidly following the Roxtons will be delighted to pick up on clues from previous books. Ms. Brant has a way of intertwining those threads into a constantly developing tapestry. Highly recommended.†—Fiona Ingram, Readers’ Favorite 5 STAR Medal Winner
“Mr. Wyndham’s performance was flawless and sublime. The emotions, humour, pathos and pacing were stellar. I am running out of superlatives. Seriously, I can’t recommend his narration highly enough.
