When it comes to love, there’s never a dull moment in
the Worthingtons’ extended family circle . . .
Gerald, Earl Elliott, has finally decided to marry.
Unfortunately, he seems only to fall for a lady once she is
engaged to another. When his close friend, the Duke of
Rothwell, asks him to look out for his sister, Lady Lucinda
Hughlot, during her first London Season, Gerald is happy to
oblige. After all, it will put him even more conveniently in
the way of eligible ladies. Yet he’s completely oblivious to
Lucinda’s growing attraction
to him . . .
Lucinda is thrilled to finally be having her Season. Her
mother would be thrilled as well except for the scandal the
late duke caused before his death. To avoid gossip, the
dowager duchess has decided an arranged match will cover her
chaperoning duties. Lucinda, however, is far from pleased
with her mother’s choice of the Marquis of
Quorndon—especially with her heart set on Lord Elliott.
There is only one solution: Lucinda will find a lady for
Quorndon. Then she will convince Lord Elliott of their
love—and together they will convince her mother. All it will
require are good theatrical skills—and a very genuine kiss . .
