She thought she was the luckiest woman in London....
Surviving on a seamstress' income and a steady stream of fantasies,
Prudence Bosworth has always longed for love and romance. Then, she
inherits a fortune from the father she's never seen, with the
stipulation that she wed in one year. Prudence is determined to marry
for true love, and after seeing firsthand the splendid chivalry of a
certain duke, only one man will do....
Rhys de Winter, the Duke of St. Cyres, hides his cynicism behind a quick
wit and an even quicker smile. He must marry an heiress, and as luck
would have it, the pretty little seamstress-turned-heiress is exactly
what he needs. But he never expected to fall for Prudence, and when his
shocking deception is revealed, he will stop at nothing to win her
back...even if it means renouncing every last one of his wicked ways.
