The Duchess Deal

Scarred by war and hiding from society, the Duke of Ashbury spends his nights prowling London and has decided he needs an heir, which means he needs a wife. When seamstress Emma Gladstone, a vicar's daughter down on her luck, turns up in his library in a wedding gown to collect a debt, he proposes a strictly practical marriage with a list of cold rules. Emma counters with rules of her own, insisting on shared dinners, real conversation and plenty of teasing, and slowly draws out the man behind the scars. A witty, tender and steamy Regency romp that opens the Girl Meets Duke series.
