Worth More Than Rubies

- A Regency Holiday Novella

Bag om Worth More Than Rubies

All the Duke of Dunfallon wants this holiday season is a respite from the machinations of the matchmakers. When pursued by a particularly determined would-be duchess, he ducks into the West Bartholomew Street Lending Library. Librarian Emerald Armstrong sees a dapper gent in a bit of a hurry and mistakes Dunfallon for a curate overdue for his assignation with West Bart's theological collection. Dunfallon is intrigued by Emmie's love of books, her disdain for society's games, and her ferocious generosity of spirit toward all of the library's patrons. She has no patience with posturing, and thus he takes the risk of admitting his true identity. To his surprise, Emmie doesn't mind all that much that he's a duke--some things cannot be helped--but she is far less willing to keep silent about Dunfallon's other secret, the one he has been guarding from even his fellow peers. If an honest woman is worth more than rubies, what will a duke sacrifice to earn her love? Note: This story was half of Yuletide Gems, a novella duet originally published as a web store/library exclusive in 2022.
