Responsible, practical Miss
Hermione Rogers, has been crafting stories as the notorious
Mr. Michael Michaelmas and selling them for a meager wage to
support her siblings. The only real way to ensure her
family’s ruinous debts are paid, however, is to marry. Tall,
thin, and plain, she has no expectation of success. In
London for her first Season she seizes the chance to write
the tale of a brooding duke. In her research, she finds
Sebastian Fitzhugh, the 5th Duke of Mallen, who
unfortunately is perfectly affable, charming, and so nicely…
configured… he takes her breath away. He lacks all the
character traits she needs for her story, but alas, any duke
will have to do.
Sebastian Fitzhugh, the 5th Duke of Mallen has been deceived
so many times during the high-stakes game of courtship, he’s
lost faith in society women. Yet, after a chance encounter
with Hermione, he finds himself intrigued. Not a woman he’d
normally consider beautiful, the young lady’s practical
bent, her forthright nature and her tendency to turn up in
the oddest places has his interests… roused. He’d like to
trust her, he’d like to do a whole lot more with her too,
but should he?
