Why should a man's social standing matter if he is honorable and kind, and if he loves you? Why shouldn't you marry for love instead of money? Twenty-one-year-old Lady Harriet Hampstead, dubbed 'the Ice Queen', wants nothing to do with the men who pursue her. When her father is killed in a riding accident, Harriet must submit to her mother's expectation that she marry the Duke of Salston. Will she be forced to tie herself to a man she doesn't love? Does the woman he has plans to woo have a warm heart or is she really only interested in his money? The man Lady Harriet thinks is Lord Caleb DeVere, the Duke of Salston, doesn't seem to cut as fine a figure as the suitors who have come before him. He is too old, for starters, and not much into conversation. But he is a good judge of character. He knows who Lady Harriet really wants to marry...and it isn't him. How will Harriet and the Duke overcome the obstacles in their way? He is guilty of deception and she is bound by duty. And then there's her sister Catherine, who does everything in her power to derail their relationship. Can they ever find a way to be happy together?The Deceptive Duke of Salston is a clean 50,000-word Regency romance story with a happily ever after.

'It is the most singular of sounds, yet among the most ubiquitous. It is the sound of isolation that has sold itself to millions.' Miles Davis's Kind of Blue is the best selling piece of music in the history of jazz, and for many listeners among the most haunting in all of twentieth-century music. It is also, notoriously, the only jazz album many people own. Recorded in 1959 (in nine miraculous hours), there has been nothing like it since. Its atmosphere - slow, dark, meditative, luminous - became all-pervasive for a generation, and has remained the epitome of melancholy coolness ever since. Richard Williams has written a history of the album which for once does not rip it out of its wider cultural context. He evokes the essence of the music - identifying the qualities that make it so uniquely appealing - while making effortless connections to painting, literature, philosophy and poetry. This makes for an elegant, graceful and beautifully-written narrative.
