Polite Society doesnβt take Lady Anne Adamson seriously. However, Anne isnβt just another pretty young miss. When she discovers her father betrayed her motherβs love and her family descended into poverty, Anne comes up with a plan to marry a respectable, powerful, and honorable gentlemanβ a man nothing like her philandering father.
Armed with the heart of a duke pendant, fabled to land the wearer a dukeβs heart, she decides to enlist the aid of the notorious Harry, 6th Earl of Stanhope. A scoundrel with a scandalous past, he is the last gentleman she'd ever wed...however, his reputation marks him the perfect man to school her in the art of seduction so she might ensnare the illustrious Duke of Crawford.
Harry, the Earl of Stanhope is a jaded, cynical rogue who lives for his own pleasures. Having been thrown over by the only woman he ever loved so she could wed a duke, heβs not at all surprised when Lady Anne approaches him with her scheme to capture another dukeβs affection. Heβs come to appreciate that all women are in fact greedy, title-grasping, self-indulgent creatures. And with Anneβs history of grating on his every last nerve, she is the last woman heβd ever agree to school in the art of seduction. Only his friendship with the ladyβs sister compels him to help.
What begins as a pretend courtship, born of lessons on seduction, becomes something more, leaving Anne to decide if she can give her heart to a reckless rogue, and Harry must decide if heβs willing to again trust in a ladyβs love.
