More Than a Duke

Meer over het boek

Polite Society doesn't take Lady Anne Adamson seriously. However, Anne isn't just another pretty young miss. When she discovers her father betrayed her mother's love causing her family to descend into poverty, Anne comes up with a plan to marry a respectable, powerful, and honorable gentleman--a man nothing like her philandering father. Armed with the heart of a duke pendant, fabled to land the wearer a duke's heart, she decides to enlist the aid of the notorious Harry, 6th Earl of Stanhope. Harry is a jaded, cynical rogue who lives for his own pleasures. Having been thrown over by the only woman her ever loved so she could wed a duke, he's not at all surprised when Lady Anne approaches him with her scheme to capture another duke's affection. What begins as a pretend courtship, borne of lessons on seduction, becomes something more, leaving Anne to decide if she can give her heart to a reckless rogue, and Harry to decide if he's willing to again trust a lady's love
