He’s prowling the ballrooms of the haute ton, searching for his mate.
She’s hiding in plain sight, with independent spinsterhood her only goal.
Time is running out for him and all is not as it seems for her.
Alfred Blakesley, Duke of Lowell, has long been an enigma to those in the highest echelon of English society. No one dares to give a man of his status the cut direct, but there’s simply something not quite right about him. There is a rawness to his masculinity that warns away even the most strenuous matchmaking mamas and the most willing of widows…
The Honorable Felicity Templeton has only one goal: to remain unwed until her twenty-fifth birthday, when the terms of her father’s unusual Will come good and she will inherit what, for a woman, is a veritable fortune. The fashions of the day do not flatter her and her forthright manner does not flatter the swains; certain she will secure her goal, she is counting down the days until she is free…
Until the Duke abducts her and ruins the plans of a lifetime. Or does he? It soon becomes clear that there is doubt regarding the validity of Felicity’s legacy — can she find refuge in the scandal the Duke has created? The Duke has accomplished the long-held goal of discovering his vera amoris, his true love — can he come to grips with a flesh-and-blood woman as opposed to an ideal?
