In the intervening nine years, Cam is now the powerful Duke of Sedgemoor, renowned for his cold demeanour, self-assurance and his iron control, devoting his life to restoring the family’s good name. If he truly loved her, she’d even be willing to curb her impulsive and headstrong ways to become the wife he needs…someone dignified and above reproach…someone to help him restore respectability to the scandal-ridden Rothermere name. The reality is very different because she knows that Cam can never give her the one thing she desires…his heart. Penelope (Pen) Thorne has loved her childhood friend, Camden Rothermere for as long as she can remember and, when he proposes, it should be the happiest day of her life…a girlish fantasy come true. “As a result of love, my father descended into cruelty and obsession and my mother became a byword for promiscuity.”Īnd it has no place in his life now or ever. Cam has seen first-hand the devastating effect love had on his parents: She refuses to marry for anything but love. Even his declaration that he esteems and admires her and enjoys her company does nothing to persuade her to change her mind. When Camden (Cam) Rothermere, heir to a dukedom, proposes to his childhood friend, Penelope Thorne, he can’t believe his ears when she turns him down. WHAT A DUKE DARES is the third book in the marvellous ‘Sons of Sin’ series and, once again, Anna Campbell delivers an emotive, romantic and passionate love story. That means kissing like they mean it and even sharing a bed-until it becomes hard to tell where the game ends and true desire begins. The only way they’ll both get back to London without their reputations in tatters is to pretend they’re married during the journey. Then her brother’s dying request sends him to bring home the one woman he thought he’d finally gotten over. But if she wants to run off to the Continent and set the rumor mill ablaze, he can’t stop her. She’s known Camden Rothermere since they were children-and she also knows she’d bring nothing but scandal to his name.Ĭam can hardly believe Penelope turned down his proposal. What woman in her right mind would say no to marrying the dashing Duke of Sedgemoor? Miss Penelope Thorne, that’s who.
