Book Description:
Driven to uncover the truth about the mysterious death of his ladylove, the Duke of Hawkscliffe will go to any lengths to unmask a murderer. Even if it means jeopardizing his reputation by engaging in a scandalous affair with London's most provocative courtesan -- the desirable but aloof Belinda Hamilton.
Bel has used her intelligence and wit to charm the city's titled gentlemen, while struggling to put the pieces of her life back together. She needs a protector, so she accepts Hawk's invitation to become his mistress in name only. He asks nothing of her body, but seeks her help in snaring the same man who shattered her virtue. Together they tempt the unforgiving wrath of society -- until their risky charade turns into a dangerous attraction, and Bel must make a devastating decision that could ruin her last chance at love....

This was a delight! There's no way that this copy is going off my shelf and back into circulation. A KEEPER.

The Duke is a touching story of a young woman's struggle to survive the streets and later the art of courtesan life until she is rescued by the man of her dreams. This book is a fabulous beginning to the Knight series.

Wow, what a great book. The banter between the hero and heroine is great! Hawk is the ideal Duke, to haughty for his own good. When he breaks away from how he thinks a duke should act he begins to enjoy his life.

A very romantic historical Regency. You'll love the Duke of Hawscliffe too, as well as the heroine of the story.

Story about a woman in 1800 forced into a undesirable life style. She is not what she seems. The Duke of Hawkscliffe doesn't hesitate to use her to help him catch a murder but in public is she good enough for him? It is a good story full of suspense and romance.

Diane S. (Really loved Bel and Robert's story. It was the first in this series that I've read and it kept my attention. I quickly get bored and irked w/mushy, cheesy stories. This book is a keeper for me. It is fast-paced, with witty dialogue, hot steamy chemistry and love scenes; overall, it is wonderfully entertaining. Peppered w/a few bittersweet moments here and there, I think it will clench your heart as well. Enjoy!
This book is a good starting point for Foley's Knight series. This is a good, enjoyable read.
I wanted to read this book as the first in the series, after reading one of the later books. I enjoyed it and am in the process of reading the whold series.
Jennifer H. (As always--great hero, and heroine. Gaelen does it again! :)
Cindy D. (Loved this book! Put Ms. Foley on my Favorite Authors List and this book on my keeper shelf.
