Bran Crowther was given the nickname "Duke of Defiance" by a group of women. As a teen, he left England and didn't go back until he had the title of Earl thrown on him.
He returned with his daughter Evie.
He soon meets Joanna "Jo" Shaw, a priest's widow and sister to a duchess. She accepts a job offer as Evie's governess only after a marriage proposal was turned down.
I alway love when shows, cartoons or books have a father/daughter relationship as a major aspect to the story. The Duke of Defiance was no exception.
Aside from that, I really found the interaction between the dukes very entertaining.
Rating: ☺☺☺☺☺

Interview
Did you use any of your own experience as inspiration?
I think a little bit of me slips into all my books. In Wife in Name Only, I’d been to a small outlining island in the Kingdom of Tonga. In Winning the Boss’s heart, I lived in a small town in New Zealand, so the community getting together for the show was real. In Bound to the Bounty Hunter, I thought how cool to be a female private detective in a male dominated industry and in Taming the CEO, I’ve been a personal assistant to a CEO, so a little of my experience slipped in there.
On average, how long does the writing process take?
Some days I’d rather clean the oven and make up excuses not to write. Wait! Look at that driveway, it needs cement poured now. I wonder if there are cute kittens on YouTube – there are just quietly, millions of them. Other days the words flow like honey. I have a book set in Scotland coming out that roared out of me. I loved it, same with Taming the CEO. I have deadlines and always try and come in early. I can feel my editor’s eye roll. I generally do a dirty draft then go back and back until I think I’m done.
When did you realize you wanted a career in writing?
I’ve always worked and wrote in the evenings. It was a dream, but one I didn’t think would come true. I landed an agent, and my first book Wife in Name Only was picked up by Entangled, and it was a lightbulb moment. Maybe I could do this. With the help of a patient husband and kids, I write every day.
If you weren't an author, what other career paths would you have taken?
I come from a family of scientists and engineers, and then there was me. 😊 If I could go back (isn’t hindsight awesome…not) I’d have loved to be a paramedic.
Out of the characters that you created, who is your favorite?
Noooooo. That’s like asking which child I prefer. All the characters I’ve written have touched me in some way.
What advice would you give to someone looking to be a writer?
Don’t give up and grow a thick skin. I can’t tell you the number of times I’d wanted to throw it all in and go and live in a cave. Rejection letters suck, (I could wallpaper a room with mine), getting one star reviews hurt, but keep going. Learn your craft, buy books, do tutorials and keep those fingers on the keyboard.
What kind of research (if any) was required for any of your books?
Hours and hours of research. What did we do before the internet? If my book is set in an actual town and I can’t physically get there, I buy Lonely Planet books, stalk travel blogs, learn how to swear in a foreign language.
How long after you finish a book do you start another one?
Depending on my schedule. I’ve got a lot to write. The Scottish Book (I am so in love with Delilah the goat I’m thinking of stashing one in my back yard. I am writing a hot Italian book now (swoon). Bound Two and I’d really like to write the brothers and sisters stories in Taming the CEO. In between being a half-decent wife, a terrible cook and working part-time, it’s going to be busy.
Thank you so much for having me here today. It has been such a pleasure and a blast.
Love,
Hayson

Blog Tour: How to Ruin Your Reputation in 10 Days
Meet the Author:
Harmony Williams has been living vicariously in Regency-era England since she discovered Jane Austen. Since time machines don’t yet exist, she’s had to make do with books—fictional and non-fictional. On the rare occasion she doesn’t have her nose stuck in a book, she likes to drink tea and spend time with her 90-lb lapdog. A feminist, she writes stories about strong women and the men who support them as equals.
About the Book:
With only ten short days left in the Season, Francine doesn't have time to waste on petty squabbles or knee-weakening kisses, even if Julian's offer to fulfill her every wish rouses her curiosity. It seems men are more complicated than plants. Too bad love bloomed at the most inconvenient of times...
