What's a duke to do, when the girl who's perfectly wrong becomes the
woman he can't live without?
Griffin York, the Duke of Halford, has no desire to wed this season--or
any season--but his diabolical mother abducts him to "Spinster Cove" and
insists he select a bride from the ladies in residence. Griff decides to
teach her a lesson that will end the marriage debate forever. He chooses
the serving girl.
Overworked and struggling, Pauline Simms doesn't dream about dukes. All
she wants is to hang up her barmaid apron and open a bookshop. That
dream becomes a possibility when an arrogant, sinfully attractive duke
offers her a small fortune for a week's employment. Her duties are
simple: submit to his mother's "duchess training"... and fail miserably.
But in London, Pauline isn't a miserable failure. She's a brave,
quick-witted, beguiling failure--a woman who ignites Griff's desire and
soothes the darkness in his soul. Keeping Pauline by his side won't be
easy. Even if Society could accept a serving girl duchess--can a roguish
duke convince a serving girl to trust him with her heart?
