An American heiress nobody wants; a duke every woman desires; and a
murder no one expects.
As a young duke, all Nathaniel wants is to be left alone. So when he
meets Charlotte, an outspoken American heiress, he is suspicious of her
indifference. Too many women have sought - and failed - to catch him.
However, Charlotte is unimpressed by his title. She has no interest in
English dukes. All she wants is to leave dreary England and travel to
the sunny sands of Egypt to see the grand pyramids.
Unfortunately, a debutante seeking to entrap Nathaniel gets murdered,
and his reputation as a confirmed misogynist makes him a suspect. On
impulse, Charlotte comes to his aid, unaware that her actions place her
in danger, too.
Neither Charlotte nor the duke know that a highwayman interested in rich
heiresses is following Charlotte, and that another debutante lies dead
in Nathaniel's carriage. And unfortunately, the evidence soon
complicates Nathaniel's efforts to prove his innocence and convince
Charlotte that he is worthy of her love.
Some nights just don't go as planned.
