The Duke of Huntington has no interest in an eccentric redhead who frowns at him over her spectacles . . . until he realises that she is the only possible duchess for him, in this dazzling enemies-to-lovers romance by New York Times bestselling author Eloisa James.

Readers give Not That Duke ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐!

'What a fantastic book! Truly in love with Silvester and Stella!'

'What a joy this book was to read! I laughed my head off at the camaraderie! The intensity between the two main characters was amazing.'

'Eloisa James has done it again . . . another addictive, entertaining, and thoroughly joyful romance.'

'I found this book an absolute joy to read.'

.......................

She'd rather marry any other duke.

Bespeckled and freckled, Lady Stella Corsham at least has a dowry that has attracted a crowd of fortune-hunting suitors - which definitely doesn't include the sinfully handsome Silvester Parnell, Duke of Huntington, who laughingly calls her 'Specs' as he chases after elegant rivals.

And then . . .

The worst happens. Marriage.

To the duke. To a man marrying her for all the wrong reasons.

How can Silvester possibly convince Stella that he's fallen in love with the quirky woman he married? Especially after she laughingly announces that she's in love - but not with that duke.

Not with her husband.

.......................
