Divine (divinebychoice) | 18 comments Hello I am looking for a historical book that I read last year I don’t know if it was new I did read it on amazon kindle but can’t remember the name. The heroine in the book has a younger brother that gambles and is constantly drinking and getting into trouble he insults another lord (hero) and they are gonna duel. The sister the heroine finds out and dresses as brother and goes to fight the duel in his place. The Hero is there on the field with his 2nd which is his friend. The duel starts and the hero shoots the heroine thinking that it is her brother. She is shot on the shoulder and passes out. The hero then finds out that it is a girl and he takes her in his carriage to his home where he takes care of her because she is feverish. Any help would be appreciated to find this book any recommendations of similar plots will be grately appreciated.

The heroine in the novel poses as her brother and goes off to fight a duel with the hero (a lord). She is shot and ends up being taken to the hero's home to recover, where he discovers that she's a girl. The heroine has red hair; her father is ailing, I think; and I believe the brother challenged the hero to a duel because he (the brother) was drunk and took offense at some slight insult. The hero, as I recall, is a cynical, jaded type of character.

I've been looking for this book for a while. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!

Edit: I found it! It's called The Rake by Georgina Devon.
