About this listen

Lord Randolph Gresham has come to London for one reason only – to find a suitable wife. Verity Sinclair may be intelligent, beautiful and full of spirit, but her father knows a secret about Randolph that makes her entirely unsuitable as his bride. Not right for him at all, never, not a chance.

Verity knows that Lord Randolph lives in a country parish, and she wants nothing more than to escape to town. He may be fascinating, attractive, rich and the son of a duke, but she'll never marry him, nor will she talk to him, flirt with him, walk with him or dine with him. She'll sing a duet with him, but only this one time, and only because everyone insists.

But one duet invariably leads to another.

Critic reviews

'Fans of The Duke's Sons series will want to add this conclusion to their shelves...there's plenty of wit, matchmaking, sweetness and sensuality...in The Duke Knows Best.' (RT Book Reviews)

'Smart repartee, a host of delightful characters, exceptional period detail, and music so beautifully described.' (Library Journal)

Again I enjoyed myself tremendously- and I must say BRAVO 👍 to Jane Ashford - because where other authors lead a story and come to an end , she has only reached the middle of the book and will keep the reader embraced and lead further and further !
Her books are simply wonderful!

This was a most wonderful series, which I thoroughly enjoyed!!!
And Naomi Frederick did such a wonderful job in presenting the books - she has such a great style of presenting a story and brings it alive with changes in her voice.

Thank you for a brilliant time!

Another MARVELLOUS STORY…
