Eva
Eva frequently has either a book or some knitting-needles in her hand. She loves historical romance, especially with queer protagonists (or at least without lords and earls) and has a weakness for friends-to-lovers and second-chance romances. Apart from that she also reads a lot of crime/suspense and fantasy - with and without romance. On Twitter she shows off pictures of her knitting-WIPs, shouts about the books she is reading and live-tweets TV-shows (mostly in German).

When Charles Gavin finally proposes to Bonny, she couldn’t be happier. The marriage will mean the end of her family’s financial difficulties since he promises to support them after the wedding.

And when she develops feelings for Loel she never had for Gavin she wonders even more. But it’s not just her family’s fortune that’s at stake: Loel is the reason her family lost their fortune in the first place.

A Duke Like No Other is a second chance-romance, meaning Mark and Nicole had a relationship before. They were even married, but separated not long after the wedding. Over the course of the book we get flashbacks to how they met, fell in love and why they split up. The reason for breakup was their immature behavior (mostly from Mark who misunderstood a situation and immediately assumed the worst but also from Nicole who reacted to the accusations by leaving the country instead of waiting for Mark to calm down and then explain things).
