The Duke is Mightier than the Sword

Montague Lancaster, Duke of Caefall, is in hiding in Oxford after a wartime injury, trying to ignore his doctor's advice. Because he'll definitely be going back to France to fight, right? He's determined not to leave his honor on the battlefield-but Montague has financial concerns to keep him occupied. The Duchy is bankrupt. He's got to keep it a secret and keep his presence in England quiet. Fencing is his only refuge, his passion, and Montague agrees to teach students to pass the time. Easier said than done when a poetess storms into his bedchamber and demands he help her finish her poem... Sarah Lockwood is tired of having her poetry diminished merely because she's a woman. Society holds no interest, and she's in search of a poetry professor in one of the prestigious Oxford colleges to help her finish it. She ends up discovering a hidden duke who fences like a soldier and kisses like the devil. Words cross blades with actions as both Sarah and Montague fight their growing feelings for each other, and the expectations of the world. She cannot be a poet. He must return to France to fight. So which is mightier: the duke or the sword? This full length novel is a steamy Regency romance with a happily ever after, no cliffhangers, and is part of a series that can be read in any order.
