Synopsis

A gleefully improper romp between a buttoned-up blacksmith and a spinster who loves racy novels, from a New York Times bestselling author:
Meg Church adores two things: life in a village of perennial Yuletide, and the freedom of being a spinster with no reputation to protect. Oh, very well, three things: She’s harbored a secret tendre for Christmas curmudgeon Lucien le Duc since the moment she first glimpsed him. But the sexy blacksmith won’t give her the time of day, much less a night of torrid passion.
Ever since Lucien le Duc was forced to flee his beloved France during the revolution, his all-consuming goal has been to recover not only his lost land and fortune, but also his rightful place among the French aristocracy. He would never be distracted by an English dairy maid’s sultry glances… or her soul-consuming kisses… or the temptation to turn one night into forever…
The 12 Dukes of Christmas is a series of heartwarming Regency romps nestled in a picturesque snow-covered village. Twelve delightful romances… and plenty of delicious dukes!

Goodreads review by SUZAN on July 01, 2018

I rather like this book. This is my first book from Elizabeth Elliot and I adore reading Regency romance with heroines who aren't so frail and needy and heroes who aren't so irritating. In The Duke's Desire, the heroine, Eleanor is a "not quite beautiful" woman who is strong, brave, and intelligent.......more
