Dukes All Night Long

Duke by Dawn by Sheridan Jeane

He never felt worthy of the title—until he found a reason to wear it.

Evan Eldridge never wanted to be the Duke of Westbridge. The title came through tragedy—the shipwreck that claimed his uncle, aunt, and cousin—and he’s been drinking and gambling his way through the grief ever since, wearing his new rank like a borrowed coat that doesn’t quite fit.

Then Violet Heatherington walks into Hamlin House gaming club, and everything changes.

Three years ago, Violet was the woman who taught him how to laugh again after years of loneliness. Three years ago, he was the man who disappeared without a word. Now she’s back—but not for sentiment. She’s working for the Crown’s spymaster, following a trail of suspicious ledgers, vanished ships, and a shadowy syndicate known only as The Black Rose Society. And she has reason to believe Evan’s uncle was murdered.

As they search the townhouse for hidden documents, old wounds reopen—and old feelings refuse to stay buried. But the danger is very real. Someone knows what they’re looking for. And they’re not afraid to act.

With a black rose delivered to their door and time running out, Evan must decide what kind of man—and what kind of duke—he truly wants to be. Because protecting Violet, honoring his uncle’s sacrifice, and bringing a powerful conspiracy to justice will demand everything he has.

And this time, he won’t walk away.
