When his American stepmother, who inherited his father’s estate, is found dead, the Duke of Strickland, whom everyone knows detested the dowager duchess, fights for his castle and his reputation when Raya Darwish, the dowager duchess’s heir, arrives to claim what is hers. Original. 100,000 first printing.

Diana Quincy returns with a steamy affair between an Arab-American woman who inherits a run-down castle in the English countryside and the duke who asserts the castle is his, in the first book in a brand-new Victorian historical romance series.

Anthony Cary, Duke of Strickland, inherits his spendthrift father’s title and can finally restore the family castle to its former glory. But at the reading of the will, Strick is stunned to learn that his father has secretly disentailed him, leaving the family manor—home to twelve generations of dukes—to Strick’s American stepmother. Everyone knows Strick detests the dowager duchess, and when she dies mysteriously, damning rumors start to surface. 

When Raya Darwish unexpectedly inherits her glamorous late cousin’s castle in the English countryside, she clashes with the charismatic young duke who insists the castle is rightfully his. The estate is practically bankrupt, so she must find a way to work with the duke in order to save both of their futures.

The two cannot stand each other, but mutual disdain soon gives way to desire. When questions arise about how her cousin died, Raya cannot help wondering if Strick’s sudden unbridled passion for her is part of a scheme to get his castle back...

"Quincys fans will enjoy another clever heroine set against and then paired with a man actually worth her time and attention. A solid start to a new historical series from one of romances most dependable writers. A winning Victorian romance." Kirkus Reviews

[ Quincy] deftly illustrates just how skillfully she is changing the map for historical romance with the latest stellar addition to her Clandestine Affairs series. Featuring superbly rendered characters, some sensually charged love scenes, and a fabulously fresh plotthis is an incomparable delight.  Booklist (starred review) on The Marquess Makes His Move

Quincy delivers another compelling story featuring a hardworking heroin in the third entry in her Clandestine Affairs series. She also once again explores the difficulties of living in the Regency ton while also being of Arab descent . . . As the story also contains a slow burn as well as several passionately intimate scenes, theres much for readers to love. A delightfully multifaceted story from a write who continues to map out new territory for Regency romance. Kirkus Reviews (starred review) on The Marquess Makes His Move

"Vivid, bold, witty, and seductive! Diana Quincy is your new historical romance obsession."  Lenora Bell, USA Today bestselling author of Love Is a Rogue

Quincy cleverly incorporates much-loved genre tropes into the daringly sensual plot of her print romance debut, and this combined with the refreshingly original, boldly adventurous heroine, who fully embraces her Middle Eastern family origins, makes this marvelously entertaining love story.  Booklist (starred review) on Her Night with a Duke
