No Dowry, No Duke

Miss Frances Vale has no dowry, no patience, and no intention of marrying. The Duke of Renwick has an ambitious mother, a grand estate, and no intention of falling in love. When the two are caught alone in an Orangery mid-ball, Frances proposes the perfect solution: a fake engagement to survive the Season, then a quiet parting. It works. Then it works too well — and by the time the last waltz plays, neither of them wants it to end. A fake-engagement Regency historical romance of sharp wit, quiet longing, and a hero who proposes in front of every gossip in London.
