He's at her service . . .
Though she can't afford the coal to heat her drafty Mayfair mansion,
Felicity Langley still clings to her dream of marrying a duke--one she's
had since her very first curtsy. After all, she's been promised to the
very lofty Duke of Hollindrake for the last four years. Now all she has
to do is meet him. But what Felicity doesn't realize is that she has
met her duke--he's the altogether too handsome man who Felicity has just
mistaken . . . for her new footman!
By rights, Thatcher should immediately set this presumptuous chit
straight and tell her he has no intention of honoring the arranged
betrothal. But he's quickly smitten by Felicity's delightful
determination, her irrepressible charm . . . and her breathtaking
sensuality. Yes, she'd wed him in an instant were his true identity
revealed--but Thatcher's vowed to marry only for love. So begins his
deception and his conquest of this uncommon woman who doesn't believe in
romance, but is about to find her heart and passion set aflame by the
unlikely man she's sworn to resist.
