"Bridgerton lovers have found their next read. J. J. McAvoy is a welcome new voice in historical romance."--New York Times bestselling author Sarah MacLean
"McAvoy has crafted a lushly romantic tale with a real thread of danger in its pages and a swoony second-chance romance."--Entertainment Weekly Aphrodite Du Bell has always resented her name. While the members of the ton, and even the queen herself, praise her warm brown skin, perfect curls, and exquisite features, Aphrodite can't help but think that living up to the literal goddess of beauty is asking a bit much. Her renowned loveliness certainly didn't stop the love of her life from jilting her and marrying another woman four years ago. When Aphrodite's formidable mother summons her back to London to aid in her sister's debut, she has no choice but to acquiesce. But Aphrodite is determined to ignore one man in particular: Evander Eagleman, the Duke of Everely, the man who devastated her all those years ago. Yet why does her guileless heart still flutter at the sight of him? Evander Eagleman lost his chance for true love, but now that he is an unattached widower, he is determined to win back Aphrodite's trust--and her hand in marriage. But just as the couple make strides to mend old wounds, Evander's true reason for rejecting Aphrodite threatens their coveted future . . . and even their lives. Don't miss any of J.J. McAvoy's steamy DuBells series:APHRODITE AND THE DUKE - VERITY AND THE FORBIDDEN SUITOR - HATHOR AND HER LOVER (coming in 2024!)
