About this listen
The widowed Duke of Averell is trying to be a better man...
But when he spies a young woman, reading the Iliad beneath a tree, no less, Marcus forgets all his good intentions. Miss Weatherly is outspoken, intelligent, and enamored with the ancient Greeks. When she brazenly offers to show him the constellations later that night, Marcus readily agrees.
Unfortunately, Miss Weatherly is not the woman Marcus has come to Halloway Park to offer for.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 121
Jasper Sutton—London’s most dedicated scoundrel—needs a wife, and he needs one quickly. He needs one yesterday, in fact. His requirements are precise: she must be capable of mothering the wild twin daughters who have unexpectedly appeared in his life, and so must possess the patience of a saint and the understanding of an angel. Better still if she is plain and has no expectation of a true marriage. He is not about to reform his ways.

An absolutely amazing debut novel from Katharine Ashe, an exceptional new voice in historical romance, Swept Away by a Kiss is the first book in an exciting new series - the story of a society jade who thinks she's done it all until she meets the devil himself. Piracy, intrigue, rogue lords with a dangerous secret...can love unmask the masters of masquerade?

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 401
As a child, Devlin Ware thought his family stood for all that was right and good in the world. They were kind, gracious, and shared the beauty of Ravenwood, their grand country estate, by hosting lavish parties for the entire countryside. But at 22, he discovered his whole world was an elaborate illusion, and when Devlin publicly called his family to account for it, he was exiled as a traitor. So be it. He enlisted in the fight against Napoleon and didn't look back for six years. But now his father is dead, the Ware family is broken, and as the heir he is being called home.

A Rare Treat
I’ve read all of Ayers’ books and enjoyed each one. It was so rewarding to find how the Barringtons’ story started. Stevie Zimmerman alway does a stellar performance. Hope she narrates her other books because Ayers has assured me Audibles on in production There goes the bank account. Can’t wait for Ayers’ new Audibles. Oh this is a story of how the Duke found his Duchess reading Homer in the shade of an old oak tree. Lovely
