Duke Gone Rogue

The first in Carlyle’s (Nothing Compares to the Duke) latest historical romance series stars a reluctant duke and an independent spinster. When Will Hart grudgingly goes on a holiday planned by his sisters, the last person he expects to see is the beautiful mystery woman who witnessed the end of his engagement. Madeline Ravenwood is focused on three things: her inherited gardening business, developing a rose variety fit for a princess, and co-leading the town’s Royal Visit Committee. As their paths cross, they realize what they really want in their lives. Listeners are treated to an entertaining production that showcases Karen Cass’s skills. Believably voicing the characters, regardless of origin, gender, or age, she pulls listeners into Will and Madeline’s world, capturing not only Madeline’s independent spirit and Will’s changes in attitude, but also the quirks of the various townspeople and members of the ton alike.
