Description

She's looking for jewels. He's looking for a wife. Neither anticipates that the love they discover for each other will be worth more than a king's ransom.

Having made his fortune, Royal Navy Captain Lord James Gresham has come home to find a proper English wife. He employs the help of his sister-in-law Ariel, but he won't be able to court any of her friends until Kawena Benson leaves him alone.

Kawena is out to reclaim a cache of stolen jewels, and James is at the top of her suspect list. Realizing that he'll never find a wife with Kawena following his every move, he volunteers to help her find the real culprit. The more time these two spend together, the more they realize how completely unsuitable they are for each otherbut that doesn't stop the passion from smoldering between them.

Reviews

"Ashford soars to new heights of literary excellence by creating a cleverly conceived story that takes all the traditional elements readers love in Regency romances and making everything seem refreshingly new. Throw in Ashford's gift for creating intriguingly different characters and her dry sense of humor, and you have a romance worth cherishing. " -- Booklist
"Ashford's delightful second venture into the social lives of the six sons of the Duke of Langford (after Heir to the Duke) pokes gentle fun at British society stuffiness in a story that pits propriety against authenticity, passion, and personality." -- Publishers Weekly
"Every bit of WHAT THE DUKE DOESN'T KNOW is a joy to read, and I can't wait for the next book in this, so far, fabulous series." -- Fresh Fiction
"Readers already acquainted with The Duke's Sons will be delighted to see so many previously introduced characters included in the enchanting story. Kudos to Ashford for bringing a free-spirited Polynesian heroine into strict Regency society, adding diversity and interest to a charming romance. 4 Stars." -- RT Book Reviews
