He’ll do anything to be her heart’s delight—except tell the
truth
Gabriella d’Adventure is on a mission. She has come to
England as a lady’s maid in pursuit of the Duke of Rother.
When she meets Horace Carpenter, valet to a marquess, she is
delighted to enlist his aid in gaining her heart’s desire: a
meeting with the duke. But will her growing feelings for the
handsome valet interfere with her plans for the duke?
The eccentric Marquess of Halford, Hal to his friends, is
tired of the demands of Society, especially his father’s
decree that he marry this Season. When a breathtaking young
woman intrudes on his solitude, he is captivated and
introduces himself as his valet in hopes of learning more
about her. Despite his fear about the true motive behind
Gabriella’s quest to meet the Duke of Rother, Hal agrees to
help her gain an audience with him, all the while praying
his deception won’t ruin his chances of winning her love.
