Dear Lady Truelove . . . I have fallen in love, truly
and completely in love, for the first time. The man whom I
hold in such passionate regard, however, is not of my
station. He is a painter, a brilliant artist. Needless to
say, my family would not approve . . .
Henry, Duke of Torquil, wouldn’t be caught reading the
wildly popular “Dear Lady Truelove” column, but when its
advice causes his mother to embark on a scandalous
elopement, an outraged Henry decides the author of this
tripe must be stopped before she can ruin any more lives.
Though Lady Truelove’s identity is a closely guarded secret,
Henry has reason to suspect the publisher of the notorious
column, beautiful and provoking Irene Deverill, is also its
author.
For Irene, it’s easy to advise others to surrender to
passion, but when she meets the Duke of Torquil, she soon
learns that passion comes at a price. When one impulsive,
spur-of-the-moment kiss pulls her into a scorching affair
with Henry, it could destroy her beloved newspaper, her
career, and her independence. But in the duke’s arms,
surrender is so, so sweet . . .
