Emma isn’t fearful of her own desires and often leaves the duke flummoxed by her willingness to show her love for him. Their love scenes are both sensuous and alluring. Emma refuses to be intimidated by Ashbury, displaying the confidence and intellectual ability to engage him in lighthearted banter. But Ashbury doesn’t anticipate Emma’s ability to stand up to him and insist that they have dinner together and converse. Ashbury admires Emma’s pluck and beauty, and hopes that his very businesslike offer of marriage and property will help Emma overlook his scars (which he feels are hideous) long enough to provide him with an heir. The Duke of Ashbury desperately needs an heir, and he decides to ask seamstress Emma Gladstone to be his wife after she demands payment for his former fiancé’s wedding gown. Dare’s delightful Girl Meets Duke series commencement unites two wounded souls in Regency England, as a duke meets his match in a seamstress.
