Her night with the duke / Diana Quincy.

Summary:

"Desire knows no reason... When Lady Delilah Chambers finds herself stranded at a country inn on a rain-swept evening, she's forced to fend off a group of ruffians with the help of a handsome gentleman. Irresistibly drawn to each other, Leela and the stranger spend one reckless night in each others' arms--and then go their separate ways. But the very next day Leela receives the shock of her life when she meets the duke who is set on wedding her beloved stepdaughter. When it finds two destined hearts... One night isn't enough with a woman as fierce, fiery, and brilliant as Leela. Elliot Townsend, Duke of Huntington, cannot believe his good fortune when their chance encounter leads to an unforgettable evening of passion. Yet Hunt's luck runs out when he is introduced to his prospective mother-in-law. Dowagers aren't supposed to look like this... Leela and Hunt are determined to keep each other at arm's length, which should be easy enough for two intelligent adults with reputations to uphold. The problem is all logic is lost when it comes to a passion that refuses to be ignored"-- Provided by publisher.

    After two years in Arabia with her mother's family, Delilah Chambers, Countess of Devon, returns to England to visit her stepdaughter, Victoria. Elliot Townsend, Duke of Huntington, is on his way to call on Victoria, his betrothed, when he is forced to spend the night at a rural inn. He shares his room with Leela in order to protect her from the local thugs, and the couple gives in to their desires for the night, expecting they will never see each other again. Upon meeting Victoria, both are shocked to discover the other's true identity. Both Hunt and Leela fight against their feelings, and Hunt continues his betrothal to Victoria despite falling in love with her stepmother, Leela. VERDICT Quincy ("Rebellious Brides" series) delivers a steamy Regency fraught with family discord as well as societal and racial prejudices. This gripping series starter ultimately triumphs with an honorable hero and a spirited Anglo-Arab heroine who fights for acceptance and love on her own terms.—Eve Stano, Ball State Univ. Muncie, IN
