Summary
Summary
"Tantalizing passion...certain to delight."
--Publishers Weekly
Maya Rodale's wonderfully witty Writing Girls series is a winner! Her third delectable love story to feature a plucky Regency heroine with a pen, The Tattooed Duke follows a scandal sheet reporter posing as a common housemaid in order to uncover whatever nasty little skeletons an adventure-seeking Duke may be hiding in his closets--only to fall in passionate love with the nobleman whose secrets she's been exposing to the world! The Tattooed Duke is deliciously fun historical romance fiction in the vein of Laura Lee Guhrke and Suzanne Enoch, and no true romance fan will want to write it off!

Library Journal Review
Eliza Fielding's employment as one of The London Weekly's Writing Girls is on the line when she accepts the assignment to spy on Sebastian Digby, the Duke of Wycliff, recently returned from ten years among the mysterious cultures of the East. Rumors about his exploits are rampant. Fortunately for Eliza, the Wycliff men are notorious for accosting the female household staff, so she has no trouble gaining a position as a maid in the duke's home. She now has access to his private world, including looking on his tattooed torso, which leads to her anonymous London Weekly column, "The Tattooed Duke." Sebastian ignores the gossip until it begins to impinge upon his plans for his next expedition. Not wanting to continue the scurrilous Wycliff legacy, he tries mightily to avoid the lovely and compassionate new maid. Eliza has secrets of her own, yet she finds herself desperately attracted to the man upon whom her writing livelihood now depends. Verdict Rodale (A Tale of Two Lovers) continues the intricate stories and involving narrative that are the bedrock of this fascinating series. Fans of historical romance will fall in love with our intrepid heroine and our ornately decorated hero.-Bette-Lee Fox, Library Journal (c) Copyright 2012.
