One forbidden night…
It’s 1816 and nineteen-year-old Eliza Melrose, daughter of a printing magnate, is about to be launched into London’s high society – much to her distaste, the last thing she wants is a husband.
But then she meets the youngest son of the late Duke of Chester, a disgraced nobleman who is shrouded in mystery and proving quite impossible to resist!
As the season begins, Eliza is shocked to discover that she won’t even be given the chance to choose her own husband – and that the Melrose family fortune hangs in the balance…
But will she risk everything for just one night with the Duke?

4.5 ‘My Duke’ Stars
My, oh my… Talk about rendering me speechless… What may I say, other than One Night With The Duke will NEVER be enough! Mind blowingly enrapturing, passionate and oh so utterly engaging, that I could not read it in all but one sitting!
Ms. Malpas’ first dip into one of my favourite genres, Historical Romance, was as massive success as her intense contemporary romances. I should not be surprised, given her writing is one of the most addictive I’ve had the pleasure of reading – or should I say, devouring – but the way that Eliza and her Duke stole my heart in a blink of an eye, is no joking matter.
He has my heart and I am terrified I will never get it back.
He means freedom. Happiness. Light.
Eliza Melrose, and her quick wit and take no prisoners manner, may have proved tough to live with in her time, but I delighted in every moment, every scheme her curiosity led her too, a woman after my own heart. And Duke Winters…*dreamy sigh* How could one resist this tantalising, mysterious, gorgeous and complicated man?! One simply can not I tell you! A true JEM kind of broken Alpha, with a capital A, Johnny Winters was the true ‘handsome devil’, but the more we know, and FALL, for him, the more his complexity and sexual magnetism captivate us. His unraveling, his intensity, just made him that more enticing, and by the end, wow, my heart didn’t stand a chance!
‘This won’t only be one night, Eliza,’ he says, his voice strong but rough. ‘Once I’ve had you, I will not give you up.’
Jodi Ellen Malpas’ outstanding debut in HR provided us not only my new HR addiction, but an incredible and epic world building, that transported us to that time and place. I could feel and see the whole of Belmore Square like I was one of its residents, and the richness and diversity of its characters, just spike my curiosity to no end, in such a way that even now after that marvellous ending, that made my heart soar, I’m already dying for the next Belmore Square tale! Completely and utterly addicted, I tell you!!!
‘Write,’ he orders gently, pushing his lips into my neck, biting softly at my flesh. ‘And when you are finished, I will show you how the story ends.’
