'She Won't Understand,' the Ladies Sneered in French — The Duke's Bride Replied in Perfect French

At her own wedding breakfast, the elegant ladies of Devon smiled at the new Duchess of Torrington and sneered in French: "She won't understand. A shopkeeper's girl, with a shopkeeper's hands." The Duke could not speak a word of French. The ladies were sure his Bristol bride could not either. Then Frances Hale put down her teacup and answered them in perfect French, and the whole table went silent. But that night her cold new husband tells her their marriage is only a business bargain, and from her tower window Frances hears French smugglers on the beach below whispering that the new duchess "will be dealt with." Stolen rents and a hidden ledger. Brandy barrels in the crypt among the dead dukes. A boulder pushed from a cliff. Forged love letters that turn her husband against her. A night ride through a storm, a sea cave, and a rising tide. Sit back, relax and enjoy this long Regency romance about a mocked bride with a hidden talent, a proud soldier duke who learns her language to defend her, a brave little sister and a wicked stepmother who finally meets her match.
