About the Author
Erica Ridley is a New York Times and USA Today best-selling author of historical romance novels， including the upcoming THE DUKE HEIST， featuring the Wild Wynchesters。 Why seduce a duke the normal way， when you can accidentally kidnap one in an elaborately planned heist？
In the 12 Dukes of Christmas series， enjoy witty， heartwarming Regency romps nestled in a picturesque snow-covered village。 After all， nothing heats up a winter night quite like finding oneself in the arms of a duke！
Two popular series， the Dukes of War and Rogues to Riches， feature roguish peers and dashing war heroes who find love amongst the splendor and madness of Regency England。
When not reading or writing romances， Erica can be found riding camels in Africa， zip-lining through rainforests in Central America， or getting hopelessly lost in the middle of Budapest。
Reviews
I really enjoyed getting some background for the Duke Heist （which I already read my arc of and LOVED）。 Bean's illness was so heartbreaking and I really felt for the Wynchester siblings。 And OMG but the new Duke of Faircliffe was infuriating。 I even know why from Duke Heist but ugh。 Did not like him here。 （Yes， I know that's the point。） I do see how starting the series here could make it seem somewhat lacking - I am glad to have read this after Duke Heist， though that did make the introductions of all the Wynchesters slightly tedious。 I love the Wynchester siblings so much。 They are a wild， wonderful family and I really wish I could know them in real life。 Even better， if I could be one of them。 Besides their capers and plotting， it's clear they love one another and trust one another deeply。 I received a review copy of this book。
