Some Like it Wicked

Rupert Stirling, Duke of Stratton, has long since acquired the nickname Devil. And with outrageous exploits both in and out of ladies' bedchambers, my, has he earned it!

Risqué behavior is beyond Pandora Maybury, widowed Duchess of Wyndwood – although with her dark secret she's far too well acquainted with being the subject of ribald gossip for her liking. If only the Ton knew just how innocent she really was...including Rupert who, after rescuing her from a compromising situation, seems intent on wickedly compromising her himself!

Some Like to Shock

"Surely a lady as...daring as you cannot be feeling nervous at the idea of travelling alone with me, Genevieve?"

Genevieve Forster, widowed Duchess of Woollerton, knows only too well the need for bravado. After a miserable marriage she's wary, but deep down yearns to pursue temptation...

With his air of danger and elusiveness it's little wonder that Lord Benedict Lucas is known to his close friends and enemies alike simply as Lucifer. Shocking the straitlaced Ton holds no fear for him. And the pleasure will be all his as he skillfully uncovers Genevieve 0; } function isWindows() { return window.navigator.userAgent.match(/Win/) && !bowser.windowsphone; } function isKindle() { return window.OverDrive.isKindle; } function renderFooter(elementId, reactRenderFunctions) { var canPromoteApps = hasDownloadableFormats() && !window.OverDrive.isTolinoDevice && !window.OverDrive.optimizeForChina; var showLibbyPromo = canPromoteApps && usesLibby; var showSoraPromo = canPromoteApps && usesSora; var showOverDrivePromo = canPromoteApps && !showLibbyPromo && !showSoraPromo; var advantageKey = 'null'; reactRenderFunctions.renderFooter(elementId, { advantageKey: advantageKey, disableWishlist: window.featureManager.isEnabled('disableWishlist'), gacEnabled: false, hasLinkedCards: window.OverDrive.hasLinkedCards, isAuthenticated: window.OverDrive.isAuthenticated, isConsortium: false, isDlr: true, isGdprCountry: window.OverDrive.isGdprCountry, isGhostLoginEnabled: window.featureManager.isEnabled('ghostLogin'), languages: [ { name: 'English', localeCode: 'en' }, { name: 'Español', localeCode: 'es' }, { name: 'Français (Canada)', localeCode: 'fr-CA' }, { name: '中文(简体)', localeCode: 'zh-Hans' }, { name: '中文(繁體)', localeCode: 'zh-Hant' }, { name: '日本語', localeCode: 'ja' }, { name: 'Русский', localeCode: 'ru' }, { name: 'Italiano', localeCode: 'it' }, { name: 'Deutsch', localeCode: 'de' }, ], libraryHomeUrl: 'https://www.goldcoast.qld.gov.au/libraries/Home', libraryKey: 'goldcoast', libraryName: window.OverDrive.libraryName, librarySupportEmail: window.OverDrive.librarySupportEmail, librarySupportUrl: window.OverDrive.librarySupportUrl, ntcMode: false, openLinksInNewWindow: !window.OverDrive.inApp, optimizeForChina: window.OverDrive.optimizeForChina, parentAccountKey: 'goldcoast', sampleOnlyMode: window.featureManager.isEnabled('sampleOnlyMode'), showHolds: window.featureManager.isEnabled('content-holds'), showKindlePromo: window.featureManager.isEnabled('kindleFooter'), showLibbyPromo: showLibbyPromo, showOverDrivePromo: showOverDrivePromo, showOverDriveWindowsLink: !window.featureManager.isEnabled('removeWindowsFromLibbyTout'), showReadingHistory: window.OverDrive.showHistoryFeature, showStarRating: window.featureManager.isEnabled('show-star-ratings'), showSoraPromo: showSoraPromo, simplifiedNavigationBar: window.featureManager.isEnabled('simplifiedNavigationBar'), socialFacebookUrl: '', socialPinterestUrl: '', socialTwitterUrl: '', socialYouTubeUrl: '' }); } function renderLibbyFooterPromo(elementId, reactRenderFunctions) { var tabletSupportsLibby = !window.OverDrive.isUnsupportedKindle; if(window.OverDrive.isTolinoDevice) { //Do not display promos return; } if(window.featureManager.isEnabled('ODAppSunsetLibbyFooterPromo') && window.OverDrive.inApp && usesLibby && !window.featureManager.isEnabled('sampleOnlyMode')) { //Render the OverDrive App Sunset Footer Promo var isSunsetMayDateSet = window.featureManager.isEnabled('sunset-date-set'); var isSunsetKoreaDateSet = window.featureManager.isEnabled('odsunset-korea-2023'); reactRenderFunctions.renderODAppSunsetLibbyFooterPromo(elementId, { isWindows: isWindows(), isKindle: isKindle(), isSunsetMayDateSet: isSunsetMayDateSet, isSunsetKoreaDateSet: isSunsetKoreaDateSet, tabletSupportsLibby: tabletSupportsLibby }); } else if(window.featureManager.isEnabled('libby-footer-promo') && tabletSupportsLibby) { var isGeoIDCEnabled = window.featureManager.isEnabled('geo-idc'); //Render the Generic Libby Footer Promo or Tourism Footer Promo isGeoIDCEnabled ? reactRenderFunctions.renderTourismLibbyFooterPromo(elementId, { isKindle: isKindle(), }) : reactRenderFunctions.renderGenericLibbyFooterPromo(elementId, { isKindle: isKindle() }); } } function renderPartnerLibraries(elementId, reactRenderFunctions) { var partnerLibraries = [ ]; if (window.featureManager.isEnabled('reciprocalLending') && partnerLibraries.length > 0) { reactRenderFunctions.renderPartnerLibraries(elementId, { libraryName: window.OverDrive.libraryName, partnerLibraries: partnerLibraries }); } } onReactComponentsReady(function (event) { renderPartnerLibraries('footer-partner-libraries', event.detail); renderLibbyFooterPromo('footer-libby-promo', event.detail); renderFooter('footer-redesign', event.detail); }); })();
