First comes revenge then comes love and marriage in The Dukeâ€™s Tattoo, a historical romance set in Regency England. ,After being grievously wounded at Waterloo, Jeremy Maubrey returns from war to find his new life as the tenth Duke of Ainsworth painful, dull and full of obligations. That is, until he wakes to find himself indelibly decorated in a mortifying place and mocking manner. ,Though he cannot recall much of the hellish night when he was abducted and tattooed, he cannot forget the waif-like villainess responsible or her haunting eyes. Ducal duties must wait till he finds the culprit and takes his revenge. ,Miss Prudence Haversham, Bathâ€™s only female apothecary, knows she has a problem. A big, broad shouldered problem. At least she will have, if the tenth Duke of Ainsworth ever discovers she is to blame for tattooing him. Unfortunately, she meant to have tattooed the previous Duke of Ainsworth, who tried to debauch her and disgraced her with his lies. Worse yet, she learns this duke is one of four infamously implacable cavalry officers known as â€˜The Horsemen of the Apocalypse.â€™,No sooner has the vengeful duke traced his abductress to Bath, than Prudence Haversham overturns the dukeâ€™s every expectation and intention. In turn, the duke proves himself an honorable and surprisingly forgiving man who earns the wary apothecaryâ€™s love.
