They're complete opposites. Society would never approve. But that doesn't stop them from wanting more?Greyson Everett, future Duke of Derby, has been exiled. Cut off financially and banished to the country by his disapproving father, he's expected to repent and work like a commoner. If he has any hope of getting back to his real life, he'll have to stay the course-and stop kissing his employer's bossy, opinionated, and entirely too lovely daughter. It should be easy. But it's not?Hailey Woodville is grateful for all the hands that make light work of the chores on her father's modest estate. Well, she's grateful for most of them. Greyson is one of the worst workers she's ever seen. His ineptitude at manual labor is exceeded only by his arrogance-and his beauty. She should stay away. Unfortunately, she cannot?But soon, Greyson will need to determine if the price of happily ever after with Hailey is one that he's able (and willing) to pay-and Hailey will need to decide if she can forgive Greyson the sins of his rakish past?

Book Description
"If...looking for something new with Austen’s spirit, humor, and dashing heroes, they can’t do better than MacGregor." - Entertainment Weekly A Duke in Time is the first book in a three-story arc that will have you rooting for leading heroines, searching for lost dowries, and falling for swoon-worthy heroes. Katherine Vareck is in for the shock of her life when she learns upon her husband Meri's accidental death that he had married two other women. Her entire business, along with a once-in-a-lifetime chance to be a royal supplier, is everything she's been working for and now could be destroyed if word leaks about the three wives. Meri's far more upstanding brother, Christian, Duke of Randford has no earthly clue how to be of assistance. He spent the better part of his adult years avoiding Meri and the rest of his good-for-nothing family, so to be dragged back into the fold is...problematic. Even more so is the intrepid and beautiful Katherine, whom he cannot be falling for because she's Meri's widow. Or can he? With a textile business to run and a strong friendship forming with Meri's two other wives, Katherine doesn't have time for much else. But there's something about the warm, but compellingly taciturn Christian that draws her to him. When an opportunity to partner in a business venture brings them even closer, they'll have to face their pasts if they want to share each other's hearts and futures.
