Pretty Woman meets the Bridgertons in this witty, vivacious
historical romance for readers of Lisa Kleypas, Kerrigan Byrne, and
Eloisa James!
Lord Lysander Blackstone, the Duke of Montcroix, has only one interest:
increasing his considerable fortune. After a series of betrayals, he
keeps his emotions buried deep. Money, after all, can't break a man's
heart--or make promises it can't keep. But when his reputation for being
heartless jeopardizes a new business deal, he finds himself seeking a
most unusual--and alluring--solution . . .
After refusing to become a wealthy patron's mistress, up-and-coming
ballerina Geneviève Valery is now hopelessly out of work. When she
accidentally saves the life of a handsome duke, she doubts the encounter
will go any better than her last brush with nobility. But instead of
propositioning her, Montcroix makes Nève an offer she would be a fool to
refuse: act as his fake fiancée in exchange for fortune enough to start
over.
Only neither is prepared when very real feelings begin to grow between
them. They both stand to win . . . but only if they're willing to risk
their hearts.
