In Vanessa Kelly's captivating series, three young women
are descended from royalty--in the most improper way. But
that doesn't stop them from pursuing lives rich in
adventure. . .
Lia Kincaid, illegitimate daughter of the Duke of York,
comes from a long line of notorious women. Raised by her
grandmother, formerly mistress to the late Marquess of
Lendale, she has little hope of a respectable marriage. But
the new marquess, her childhood friend, Jack Easton, would
make a very desirable protector . . . if he weren't too
honorable to take her to bed.
It's bad enough being saddled with a title he never desired.
Now Jack must resist the beautiful woman he desires far too
much. Duty calls, and he is duty-bound to choose a wealthy
bride. But then Lia makes another outrageous suggestion:
asking Jack to devise some tests to find her the perfect
paramour. Tests that involve flirting, kissing, and other
pleasurable pursuits. Tests that, in a matter of weeks,
could transform friendship into the ton's greatest
scandal, igniting a passion even duty can't deny. . .
