Description
An irresistible delight from a remarkable new talent. Lovely, witty, and benevolently clever' INDIA HOLTON, author of The Wisteria Society of Lady Scoundrels A swoony, feminist, funny Regency romance from the author of the Halifax Hellions series, perfect for fans of Tessa Dare, Martha Waters and Lex Croucher. Step 1: Find perfect wife. Step 2: Save reputation from ruin. Step 3: Do not, at any cost, fall in love with Selina Peter Kent - newly inherited Duke of Stanhope - must become respectable. Between his radical politics and the time he interrupted a royal wedding with a flock of sheep - not his fault! - he's developed a scandalous reputation entirely at odds with his goal of becoming guardian to his orphaned half-siblings. To improve his public image, he turns for help to the most clever, proper (and managing) young woman in London society: Lady Selina Ravenscroft. Selina advises the Duke that he must marry, immediately, with a lady of good breeding and flawless reputation. Which is to say, definitely not Selina. Because this seemingly perfect debutante has a secret: she runs an erotic circulating library for ladies of the ton. Selina is determined to find Peter the perfect wife. But her matchmaking doesn't go to plan, and in between dodging scandals and trying to keep the Duke's reckless hijinks under control, Selina discovers to her horror that she is attracted to him. All things considered, she may not be the only one struggling with desire . . .
