Sterling is an author and lives with her cat Sir Prince Charming in Minnesota.

his daily naps in between thoughts of food. August Jade holds a graduate degree

jazz, she creates programs for television.
Passing as
white in America and unbeknownst to her, a mixed-blood American falls in love
with a British Aristocrat. It's love at first sight. What follows are illegal
marriages, children, a dukedom, and murder. Add to that, England's top
operatives, and eavesdropping right-hand man, gun-toting ladies, espionage,
smuggling, additional murders, a friendly ghost, more secrets, a ton that is
very upset about the possibility of the purity of the aristocracy being
compromised, and love. Welcome to the world of the Roxbury as they take on the
British elite during the Regency Period, the ton as it has never been portrayed
before, and historical facts interwoven with fiction
Vivid in
its twists and turns of the plot, which toe the line between a historical novel,
comparisons of American and British social prejudices and perceptions, and
struggles to fit into changing worlds, The American Duke offers a warm study of
1800s society on both sides of the pond. This focus is fueled by characters who
skirt some major questions about the aristocracy as they search for romance,
meaning, and acceptance.
Finding
the true purpose of marriage
People that
were truly in love, they, did last a lot more longer. They last a lot more
longer than people who don't marry just for the status and the titles. And to
ensure that they're offspring will have these elaborate lifestyles.
Practice
gratitude even in times of crisis
People
really don't like the person they're with and they don't like themselves, and
if people would just sit down, I always sit down and say, okay, just do one
simple thing a day. Sit in your favorite chair and for a minute say thank you.
Don't ask for anything. Just say thank you. Eventually it'll sink in. Thank
you. Thank you for the fact that I have a roof over my head. Thank you for the
fact that I have food. Thank you for the fact that my plants are growing. If
you just say thank you, maybe some things will begin to open up as her
understanding of who you are. It takes programs like this, someone who is willing
to say, oops, made the wrong step. I am going to correct it. I am going to look
at it and see how I can be a better person.
