Synopsis
Josh Worthingham, Duke Penworth, needs a lady to fill the role of his duchess, and not anyone will do. His wife must be above reproach, a pillar of beauty and strength, and most importantly, well-bred. There will not be a fault to be found, so why does his attention keep snapping to Miss Iris Cooper, an unfortunate woman his mother is sponsoring for the Season.
Iris Cooper may be a granddaughter to an Earl, but that is where her lofty connections in the ton end. A reverend's daughter, she's spent the past several years hidden away, recuperating in Cornwall that saw her lose her betrothed and her person seriously injured.
But this year, she is back in London and under the tutelage of the dowager Duchess Penworth. This time she will secure a match, even if she still carries the scars of losing her first union. So why does her attention keep shifting to the Duke Penworth? A peer far above her rank, and yet, a stolen kiss in a moonlit garden, and she cannot help but dream that she is the only lady who'll do for him.
