USA Today bestselling author Lenora Bell returns with her third book in the sexy School for Dukes series.

BLURB

Ready.

Raised in the countryside by her overprotective uncle, Miss Mina Penny’s dream of a triumphant London season is finally here. She determined her perfect match long ago: Rafe Bentley, the wickedest rake of them all. There’s only one very large, very unyielding obstacle: Rafe’s brother Drew, the reclusive Duke of Thorndon.

Aim.

This was supposed to be simple. Duke goes to London. Duke selects suitable bride. Love match? Not a chance. But when Drew meets Mina, she complicates everything. How can a lady armed with such beauty and brains fall for his irresponsible degenerate of a brother? Drew vows to save her from heartbreak and ruin, no matter the cost.

Desire!

But Mina is no damsel in distress. She’s daring, intuitive, passionate…and halfway to melting Drew’s cold heart. And although Mina thought she knew exactly what she wanted, one breathtakingly seductive kiss from Drew changes everything. Now Mina must decide between long-held dreams and dangerous new desires. Could her true destiny lie in the arms of a duke?

EXCERPT 
She kissed him. Really kissed him. 
It was so surprising that Drew didn’t respond. He just stood there like an oak tree as she twined her arms around him, tugging his head down to her level.
Clinging lips. Scent sweet and clean. Soft breasts against his chest. 
Just like his dream, only less daisies and cows.
Like a dream, only so achingly real. Solid, warm woman kissing him, trying to coax a reaction from him. She made a disapproving sound in the back of her throat and redoubled her efforts.
You’ve still got it, you handsome devil.
Their interlude in the garden shed hadn’t been enough for her. She’d been gazing at his window and she’d been overwhelmed by the sight of him pleasuring himself. Which was somewhat embarrassing and…damn it, she was still kissing him.
He should do something about that.
Clearly the girl had a taste for danger. She couldn’t just go around kissing anyone she fancied. 
Her tongue slipped inside his mouth in a tentative, yet brave, exploratory expedition. She tasted of brandy. 
Do something. Tell her to leave. Or take control. Slow her movements. Set a new tempo. 
When he deepened the kiss, she followed his lead, opening wider, taking more of him and giving more of herself.

All the time in the world. No reason to rush.

For the Duke’s Eyes Only

School For Dukes 

(Each book is a standalone story)

by Lenora Bell

Publication Date: September 18th 2018

Publisher: Avon Books

Genre: Historical Romance

The Book Junkie Reads . . . Review of . . . FOR THE DUKE'S EYES ONLY (School for Dukes, #2) . . . IT WAS FUN . . . 

Two former best friends with history, a present, and working on a future. Lady India (Indy) Rochester and Daniel Bonds (Raven), the Duke of Ravenwood were childhood friends something changed everything for them. Watching them go from current rivals to allies back to friends and then lovers was fun. There was a story there. There were ups and downs. 

Indy and Raven were not your typical couple or friendship of a true regency history, but what they were were a couple that took on the adventure and intrigue of the hunt. Indy was every inch a lady until it was not need for her to be so. She was strong and independent. She was clever. Raven was hiding more than just his feeling for his former best friend. Getting to know them was fun. Watching them cover each other backs was fun. Watching them watch the other was fun. This was not a steal your heart romance but it was a romance you will enjoy for the time you are reading it.

BLURB

If adventure has a name…it must be Lady India Rochester. The intrepid archaeologist possesses a sharp blade and an even sharper knack for uncovering history’s forgotten women. Unfortunately, she has one annoying weakness: the dangerously handsome Duke of Ravenwood. Former best friend. Current enemy. And the man who dared to break her heart.

Daniel Bonds, the Duke of Ravenwood, is a thrill-seeking antiquities hunter who only plays by one rule: Never fall in love. He’s in it for the fortune and glory. At least that’s what he wants the world to think. He’s sworn to hide his tangled web of secrets, especially from the one woman he cares about and will protect at any cost.

But when a priceless relic is stolen from the British Museum, the rivals must align forces. Racing to recover the stolen antiquity and avert an international disaster? All in a day’s work. Avoiding their buried feelings? More and more impossible. For love is about to become the greatest treasure of all. The grand adventure begins…now!

EXCERPT

“We’ve reached an impasse.”

She brushed strands of dark hair away from her cheek with an impatient gesture. “As I predicted.”

“We’re like oil and water, you and I.” He drew a shaky breath. “Never the twain shall mingle.”

“You’re the North Pole,” she declared, “and I’m the South.”

“You’re fire and I’m ice.” He stared into her eyes, held her gaze locked with his.

She tilted up her chin, moving closer. “I hate you.”

He stayed completely still, not daring to breathe.

Stretched taut like a rope, fraying beneath the weight of his desire.

If he allowed himself to breathe, he would take her lips, as he’d dreamed of doing so many times, with fierceness and certainty.

Learn their lush contours by heart. Delve inside to taste her sweet, tart tongue. Swallow the I hate you and tease his name from her lips.

Say my name. Say you want me.

Raven. I want you.

He should say harmful, hurtful things. Push her away.

He wrapped his arm around her slender waist. Dragged her against him.

And kissed her.

School For Dukes, #1

BLURB

Wanted: Governess for duke’s unruly children 

Edgar Rochester, Duke of Banksford, is one of the wealthiest, most powerful men in England, but when it comes to raising twins alone, he knows he needs help. The only problem is the children have terrorized half the governesses in London. Until the clever, bold, and far-too-enticing Miss Mari Perkins arrives.

Lost: One heart to an arrogant duke

Mari knows how to wrap even the most rebellious children around her finger. But their demanding, wickedly handsome father? He won’t be quite so easy to control. And there’s something else she can’t seem to command. Her heart. The foolish thing beats so wildly every time Edgar is near.

Found: A forbidden passion neither can deny

As his employee, Mari is strictly off-limits. But what if she’s the one breaking all his rules? In the game of governess versus duke, how can Edgar maintain his defenses when the only thing he wants to do is let the tempting beauty win . . .?

EXCERPT

 “Not one in one thousand governesses would lecture me as you do, Miss Perkins.”

“As a governess I have a duty to point out misbehavior.”

“Impudent minx.”

Why was he grinning at her as if he liked impudent minxes more than anything? And why couldn’t she stop noticing how nicely shaped his lips were? Firm on top, yet sensually flared below.

“Perhaps I deserve a thorough tongue-lashing,” he mused.

Which sounded quite wicked when spoken in such a low, husky voice.

His gaze shifted to her lips. “Are you planning to give me another?”

“Only if you’re bad, Your Grace.”

He must have taken a step nearer to her. Or had she been the one to move closer? So close.

A reckless desire formed in her mind, blotting out her customary good sense. A desire to misbehave. Just this once.

“Or . . .” She rose to her tiptoes, placing her palms against his rock-solid chest. “I could be the bad one . . .”
