Summary

A Duke at the Door blends Regency romance with shapeshifting adventure in the third instalment of the Shapeshifters of the Beau Monde series. Alwyn Ap Lewin, the Duke of Llewelyn, struggles against his lion nature after a traumatic captivity in a travelling menagerie. As his health declines, he refuses to shift into his powerful lion form, choosing freedom over confinement—even if it costs him dearly. Amidst the fear and suspicion of those around him, only the perceptive lady apothecary Tabitha Barrington sees beyond the surface. Together, they face a desperate fight against time and danger, exploring love and loyalty in a world where the line between human and beast blurs.

Description

A delicious mix of Regency romance and shapeshifting adventure from author Susanna Allen.

Fans of Bridgerton won't want to miss this steamy paranormal historical romance from author Susanna Allen! The Regency has gone wild in the third book in the Shapeshifters of the Beau Monde series, featuring:

A shifter duke who's been denying his lion form
The beguiling lady who sees the truth
A ticking clock that could mean the end for the duke
The irrefutable love that might save them both

After being captured and held captive in a traveling menagerie, Alwyn Ap Lewin, Duke of Llewelyn, refuses to shift into his lion form. The longer he denies his inner lion, the sicker he gets, but he'd rather die free than be captive ever again. The denizens of Lowell Close live in fear and suspicion of Alwyn—except for lady apothecary Tabitha Barrington. Tabitha alone can help the shapeshifting duke, and with her by his side, the Wild Lion of Wales discovers he has something to live for, and to fight for, after all.
