Drake, Duke of Manchester is searching the Marriage Mart for
a perfect bride. He wants a woman who is poised,
sophisticated, and worthy of the title Duchess. But most of
all, he wants a woman who does not want the useless emotion
of love.
Socially awkward Miss Penelope Clayton isn't meant for
marriage. A serious botanist, she has no desire to wed, so
being forced by her guardian to participate in the Season to
find a husband is torture. She'll never fit in with the
ton, especially if they discover she's been pretending
to be a man within the scientific community.
As Drake's family makes over Penelope, turning her from
naive bluestocking to enchanting debutante, he is put upon
to introduce her to society and eligible bachelors. Despite
dance lessons and new gowns, Penelope is the opposite of
poised and sophisticated as she stumbles from one mishap to
the next. Why then, does he find it so hard to resist her?
