<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>A stunning debut for author Dunmore and her Oxford Rebels in which a fiercely independent vicar's daughter takes on a powerful duke in a love story that threatens to upend the British social order.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b><b>"With her sterling debut, Evie Dunmore dives into a fresh new space in historical romance that hits all the right notes."<b>--<i>Entertainment Weekly</i></b></b> <p/>A stunning debut for author Evie Dunmore and her Oxford suffragists in which a fiercely independent vicar's daughter takes on a powerful duke in a fiery love story that threatens to upend the British social order.</b> <p/> <i>England, 1879.</i> Annabelle Archer, the brilliant but destitute daughter of a country vicar, has earned herself a place among the first cohort of female students at the renowned University of Oxford. In return for her scholarship, she must support the rising women's suffrage movement. Her charge: recruit men of influence to champion their cause. Her target: Sebastian Devereux, the cold and calculating Duke of Montgomery who steers Britain's politics at the Queen's command. Her challenge: not to give in to the powerful attraction she can't deny for the man who opposes everything she stands for. <p/> Sebastian is appalled to find a suffragist squad has infiltrated his ducal home, but the real threat is his impossible feelings for green-eyed beauty Annabelle. He is looking for a wife of equal standing to secure the legacy he has worked so hard to rebuild, not an outspoken commoner who could never be his duchess. But he wouldn't be the greatest strategist of the Kingdom if he couldn't claim this alluring bluestocking without the promise of a ring...or could he? <p/> Locked in a battle with rising passion and a will matching her own, Annabelle will learn just what it takes to topple a duke.... <p/><b>"There is nothing quite so satisfying as seeing such a man brought to his knees by a beautiful woman with nothing to her name except an inviolable sense of her own self-worth."<b>--</b>NPR</b><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><b>Praise for <i>Bringing Down the Duke<br></i>One of <i>Publishers Weekly's </i>Best Romances of 2019<i> <p/></i></b>"Dunmore captures the spirit of the era with a sparkling effervescence, plowing through staid stereotypes of Victorian England to give us a group of extraordinary women refusing to live as bystanders in their own lives...A delightful new entry in the historical romance genre that works to both uphold the best of its traditions while pushing it into new frontiers and deepening its ties to history."<b>--<i>Entertainment Weekly</i></b> <p/>"Evie Dunmore's debut is a marvel.
