Synopsis
Sophisticated. Scandalous. In fact, Miss Sarah Hamilton, a proper Philadelphian, finds London society altogether shocking. How can it be that she has awakened from her innocent slumber to find herself in bed next to a handsome--and exceedingly naked--man? The laughing onlookers standing in the doorway are no help whatsoever and surely this amorous lunatic cannot be a duke, as he claims. She is compromised--though she most certainly will not marry him!
James, the Duke of Alford, is enchanted by his unexpected bedmate--and not at all afraid of her pink-cheeked fury. True, the circumstances and place of their meeting are most unusual, but the spirited American who's pummeling him with a pillow is an incomparable beauty. If Sarah will only listen to his perfectly reasonable explanation, James is sure that he can capture her heart. . .forever.

January 06, 2006: Miss Sarah Hamilton arrives in England from Philadelphia. She really didn't want to return to her father's home to live with her uncle, the Earl of Westbrooke, but she had no choice: it was her father's dying wish. Bone weary and tired from the long ocean journey, she stops for the night at the Green Man Inn, hoping to rest and make herself more presentable the following morning. Little does she expect to awaken with a handsome man lying in bed beside her -- and a naked one at that. ... James, the Duke of Alvord, spends some time in a disussion with his friends, Major Charles Draysmith and Robert Hamilton, the Earl of Westbrooke, known to James as Robbie. When he retires for the night in his usual room at the Green Man, he hears a noise and, suspecting his cousin Richard of again laying a trap to kill him, he whirls around, only to find a beautiful woman asleep in his bed. Suspecting his friend Robbie of finding the girl as a means for him to spend time forgetting his pending marriage to Charlotte, a woman he would rather forget, he removes his clothes and snuggles up close. But it's obvious the woman is exhausted. He decides to sleep and see what happens in the morning. ... Unfortunately, his aunt, Lady Gladys Runyon, arrives the following morning and discovers he is not alone. Gladys learns the identity of the young woman, and realizes that Sarah and Robbie are related. Gladys quickly explains that Robbie is the current Earl, then insists that James and Sarah marry, since they have been found in a compromising sitution. James must protect Sarah's reputation at all costs. The idea is quite appealing to James, who is attracted to the beautiful red-headed Sarah. ... What follows is an exciting romance, complete with an intriguing plot that includes attempts on James' life by his cousin, Richard, who yearns to be the next Duke of Alvord. This was a thoroughly enjoyable book and one that kept me turning the pages. I heartily recommend The Naked Duke to anyone who loves period romance with a mysterious element. And you can be sure I'll read her latest release, 'The Naked Marquis.'
