You're listening to all the backlist, a weekly show about books that are not new.

I'm your host Liberty Hardy and I'm little in the middle but I've got much backlist.

This is episode 26 and today I'm going to talk about a few great titles related to the

week's new releases and more. So hello I have a fun special theme today but

before I tell you about that I'm going to tell you about today's sponsor. It's A Duke in Shining Armor by Loretta Chase.

The seventh Duke of Ripley will never win prizes for virtue, but even he draws the line at running

off with his best friend's bride. All he's trying to do is recapture the slightly

enebriated Lady Olympia and return her to her pride groom. The bookish and bespectacled

Olympia is bent on getting away from her puzzling marriage to a rickish Duke, but is even more puzzled when the world famous Hellian, the Duke of Ripley, is trying to do the honorable thing in returning her to her intended.

Whatever his motivations, she has no intention of making this an easy chase.

So this is the first book in a brand new series from the legendary romance author Loretta Chase,

whom Meg Wolitzer calls a grand dame of historical romance.

Again, it's called The Duke in Shining Armor,

and it is available now wherever books are sold.
