About Bringing Down the Duke
In 1879, brilliant but poor Annabelle Archer joins one of Oxford’s first cohorts of female students and must recruit influential men to support the women’s suffrage movement. Her target is Sebastian Devereux, the powerful Duke of Montgomery, whose politics oppose her cause even as their attraction becomes impossible to ignore.
