A Monte Carlo Rendezvous
(Gilded Age Belles Romance)
Love and danger collide at the world’s most glamorous casino!
The only daughter of a prominent Baltimore shipping magnate, Geraldine Pierce is accustomed to the finest things life has to offer—but she’s equally determined not to be swept into a loveless marriage, as many of her peers have been. Accompanied by her recently widowed stepmother, Geraldine arrives in Monte Carlo to escape the suffocating constraints of American high society.
There, she meets the Duke of Sheringham, who is recuperating after a long illness that has left him questioning everything he took for granted. Once defined by his privilege, Orlando now faces a new reality where everything he once relied on feels fragile and uncertain. But Geraldine’s sense of adventure sparks something within him he thought he’d lost—the joy of truly living.
When a daring heist rocks Monaco’s enclave of wealthy tourists, threatening to unravel the lives of those involved, will Orlando cling to the safety of his past or embrace this second chance at life—and love—with Geraldine?
