A brooding duke finds his beautiful new neighbor way too intriguing
for his liking in this delightful Regency romance.
"Grace Burrowes is terrific!" --Julia Quinn
Nathaniel, Duke of Rothhaven, lives in seclusion, leaving his property
only to gallop his demon-black steed across the moors by moonlight.
Exasperated mamas invoke his name to frighten small children, though
Nathaniel is truly a decent man -- maybe too decent for his own good.
That's precisely why he must turn away the beguiling woman demanding his
help.
Lady Althea Wentworth has little patience for dukes, reclusive or
otherwise, but she needs Rothhaven's backing to gain entrance into
Polite Society. She's asked him nicely, she's called on him politely,
all to no avail -- until her prize hogs just happen to plunder the
ducal orchard. He longs for privacy. She's vowed to never endure another
ball as a wallflower. Yet as the two grow closer, it soon becomes clear
they might both be pretending to be something they're not.
