The Duke She Ruined

She made him a laughingstock. Now she has to make him a hero. Miss Penelope Wren never expected her satirical novel to become the scandal of the season — or that the pompous duke she lampooned would track her to her father's vicarage, furious and unfairly handsome. The Duke of Marchmont is not the fool she wrote. He's shy, kind, and utterly humiliated. When he demands a retraction, Penelope offers a bargain: she'll write a sequel portraying him as a hero if he'll help her publish it. He agrees. Reluctantly. But as they write together, the line between fiction and reality blurs. The Duke is falling for the woman who ruined him. Penelope is falling for the man she invented. And the only way to save them both is to write a new ending — together.
