WHAT A DIFFERENCE A DUKE MAKES was inspired by Mary Poppins and Jane Eyre.
Miss Mari Perkins is determined, optimistic, and she's definitely not going to take no for an answer. She's had a hard lot in life. She was raised in a charity orphanage and punished for being too outspoken. She's a dreamer, and she's only been able to have adventures in her imagination. Now it's time for her to start truly living life, and what better place to have an adventure than in the arms of a duke?
Edgar Rochester, Duke of Banksford, is obsessed with creating a high-powered steam engine for a new kind of locomotive. His work and his world are turned upside down when he discovers he is father to a set of unruly twins who come to live with him in London. When he hires Mari as governess to the children, she transforms them with her warmth, quick wits, and unconventional educational methods. But he soon finds that she's transforming him as well…opening his heart and teaching him how to love.
Check out Edgar and Mari's love story in What a Difference a Duke Makes.
