For fans of HBO's The Gilded Age, explore the dazzling world of
America's 19th century elite in this lush, page-turning saga...
From award-winning New York Times bestselling author Betina Krahn
comes a beguiling new romance brimming with her signature wit, timeless
sensuality, and thrilling romance--as desire proves to be a great
equalizer . . .
Daisy Bumgarten isn't thrilled to be trying to catch a duke's attention
while dressed like a flower pot caught in a swarm of butterflies. But,
after all, when in Rome (or in this case London society) . . . . Since
her decidedly disastrous debut among New York's privileged set, the
sassy Nevada spitfire's last chance to "marry well" lies across the
pond, here in England. If she must restrain her free spirit, not to
mention her rib cage, so be it. She knows she owes it to her three
younger sisters to succeed . . .
Now, under a countess's tutelage, Daisy appears the perfect
duchess-in-training . . . Until notorious ladies' man Lord Ashton
Graham, a distraction of the most dangerous kind, glimpses her
mischievous smile and feisty nature--and attempts to unmask her motives.
Daisy has encountered snakes on the range, but one dressed to the nines
in an English drawing room is positively unnerving--and maddeningly
seductive. When a veiled plot emerges to show up Daisy as unworthy of
the aristocracy, will Ashton be her worst detractor? Or the nobleman she
needs most of all?
