Regrettably, I'm only at the 50 percent mark in the third Lords of Eton book, Last Duke Standing. I had hoped to be finished in September, but I've had a few setbacks, timewise. There were the six days I spent in Denver for the conference of the Romance Writers of America. I was the keynote speaker for the Beau Monde mini conference the day before the RWA conference, and that also took a while to compose.
Then--almost one year after Hurricane Harvey put a few inches of flood water into my antique shop on Galveston Island (where I'd rented a booth for many years), I made the decision to get my stuff out of storage and move into two different booths in two different cities. Each of those took two weeks, so another month was lost.
I still plan a 2018 publication date. In the meantime, here's a description of it:
As the third son of the Duke of Fordham, Alex never thought he'd become a duke. But he's suddenly catapulted to the lofty title after his slightly older brother dies in his sleep. Now Alex has the onerous task of announcing the death to the woman his brother was to wed.
Ever pragmatic, Lady Georgiana Fenton insists on seeing the late duke's body, and when she does, she's convinced he was smothered as he slept. She and the new duke decide to secretly work together to uncover the murderer. But the longer they're together, the harder it becomes to resist the duke's scorching kisses--and even harder to dismiss him from the list of suspects. No one had more to gain by her fiancé's death. . .
