With her family’s reputation for creating outrageous scandals, Lady Victoria Kembal is doing her best to maintain her slim chances of securing a respectable marriage.

Whether he's traveling to Alaska to fish with the fishermen and fisherwomen, visiting Chesapeake Bay to visit clammers or the Washington coast for Dungeness Crab, Duke is in search of natural foods that are sustainably sourced and chemical free. As one of the most enduring figures on Seattle's restaurant scene, dating back to the 70's, few realize Duke is a real person, let alone that he travels the globe in search of the "perfect meal." More than four decades later as a restaurateur, Duke can now add "author" to his many accomplishments. "As Wild As It Gets" features a mix of favorite dishes co-created by Duke and Executive Chef, "Wild" Bill Ranniger or "food dudes," as they euphemistically call themselves--all secret recipes never revealed to the public before now (with the exception of Duke's Award-Winning Chowder recipes which Duke's began to make available to the public some years back).

An artist stumbles upon a naked duke and an unlikely love story begins in this captivating Victorian historical romance. When Royal Academy painting student Lucy Coover trips over a naked man passed out in an East End alley, she does the decent thing. She covers him up and fetches help.

Miss Chloe Fong has plans for her life, lists for her days, and absolutely no time for nonsense. Three years ago, she told her childhood sweetheart that he could talk to her once he planned to be serious. He disappeared that very night. Except now he’s back. Jeremy Wentworth, the Duke of Lansing, has returned to the tiny village he once visited with the hope of wooing Chloe. In his defense, it took him years of attempting to be serious to realize that the endeavor was incompatible with his personality. All he has to do is convince Chloe to make room for a mischievous trickster in her life, then disclose that in all the years they’ve known each other, he’s failed to mention his real name, his title… and the minor fact that he owns her entire village. Only one thing can go wrong: Everything.
