The Duke of Pemberton was left at the alter and never really got over it. He knew he had to eventually marry but couldn't find a lady among the ton who he really wanted! He was having a really good time dating--but his grandmother and his Uncle kept pressuring him.
Jenny Barnett, a baker's daughter, made some of the finest pastries around--all she really wanted in her life was to get a job in one of the ton's homes as a pastry chef.
One day as Jenny was walking home from a friends house it started to rain--heavily. The Duke happened upon her and took her back to his home to dry off. He was a complete gentleman-even giving her a dress to wear-then allowing her to keep it.
Meanwhile Grandmother decided that they would give a ball--and Thomas hired Jenny to make the pastries. It was not to be--Jenny's sister had broken her ankle and Jenny was needed at the family bakery.
His uncle--well--let's just say he was a scoundrel of the worst sort-but I'll let you read all about that and just why he was so intent on the Duke marrying a rich woman!!
All will be revealed--just know that this is a very happily after!!
About the Book: (from Amazon)
Jenny Barnett dreams of becoming a chef. She works in the family business her parents worked so hard to create from scratch and finds great pleasure in her simple, country life.
When meeting the very handsome but alarmingly popular among the ladies Thomas Haddington, the famous Duke of Pemberton, a whole new world full of possibilities opens up to her, and she goes through a complete makeover to win over his heart.
However, battling her feelings of love seems to be the only way in a society ruled by status and social standing...
With not only his entire dukedom’s future at stake but also his painful past forever hanging upon him like a dark cloud, Thomas soon discovers that everything in his life left worth fighting for is suddenly threatened by utter extinction.
More tragically, the enemy is no other than the only person he would put his hand in the fire to prove him innocent…the scheming Earl of Denham or, in other words, his very own uncle.

So, come on a journey into love, confusion, and redemption all within the Regency era. Hanna hopes that you will enjoy immersing yourself into her novels and that you too will find a love for old-fashioned romance, just as she has.
