Her Heart for a Compass is out on Tuesday from romance publisher Mills & Boon, but readers hoping for the sexy shenanigans usually found in the publisher’s output will be disappointed. Ferguson has written the novel with veteran Mills & Boon author Marguerite Kaye, whose recent output (A Forbidden Liaison With Miss Grant; The Truth Behind Their Practical Marriage) does not shy away from the horizontal. It’s an odd fit with the Mills & Boon imprint, however, where novels tend to run to 200-odd pages, and are considerably steamier. But I’m now on book number two with Marguerite … and I have got a real bodice-ripping coming for you. However, according to Kaye, the duchess – spirited, Titian-haired, unconventional – is just “teasing”.
