Each book in this series closes with a party that opens the next book, so this book opens with the Duchess of Beaumont’s ball to benefit the Roman baths, which ended the fifth book in the series, This Duchess of Mine.The hero, the Duke of Villiers has appeared in each book, signally, perhaps, in This Duchess of Mine, wherein he rescued his son Tobias from the ignoble profession of being a mud lark. So, although it stands alone, a number of characters appeared first in Desperate Duchesses, such as the Duke and Duchess of Beaumont (Jemma and Elijah), as well as in subsequent novels. This is the sixth and last book in the Desperate Duchess series.So what I offer below is something of a family tree, a way of chasing the characters whom you particularly like through several books, or of figuring out why a character’s name sounds so very familiar to you. This leads to a virtual web of connections between my books. I’m the kind of writer who can’t seem to think in terms of one book: I invariably design a world that takes up three or four books.
