Exactly! The whole point about dukes is that there aren’t many of them. Current romance titles make it sound like you could get a box of dukes at Target. 

Too bad about this book’s content. The cover art is very attractive.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[&quot;In Your Court&quot; by Kit Haley comes out May 21st. I love the cover, too.

&quot;Australian Matteo Russo is the first and only openly gay tennis pro. Once a brilliant junior, he was slated for a bright future – until a freak accident derailed his career. Now, he’s fed up, he’s struggling to qualify for tournaments, and he’s not sure he can afford dinner tonight.

After losing to his old rival—the rich, arrogant, American superstar Miles Callahan—Mat throws the man’s privilege in his face and sets him a challenge – one he’s sure Miles would never accept. But he does. Determined to prove he’s earned his success, Miles travels to Wimbledon on a tight budget – no support team, no coach, no fancy hotel. And now the American needs a hitting partner, and someone to explain laundromats, and what started as a dare soon becomes a searing off-court fling.

Mat should be focussing on his career, not falling for a glamorous star, but Miles believes in his game in a way Mat hasn’t for a long time, and is fast becoming everything he’s ever wanted. Only... love and tennis just don’t mix, because one day soon they’ll have to face each other on the court.

And in tennis, someone always has to lose.&quot;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I was unfairly fired, so I made my former boss the murder victim in a novel.

					<description><![CDATA[Lucy Undying by Kiersten White is 1.99 right now - a lesbian retelling focused on the Lucy Westenra character in Dracula, that goes through history into modern times. I loved this one - it was everything I hoped Bury Your Bones in the Midnight Soil would be but wasn&#039;t (namely there is a worthy romance in this one!). Goodreads trashed it because there are a lot of Dracula purists out there, so if you are a Dracula purist it might not be for you, but I really enjoyed it.]]></description>
