O knihe

She wants to be a duchess. Just not HIS duchess! Pure and proper Lady Juliet Frain was born to be a duchess. Everyone says so. Now society awaits the announcement of the elegant beauty's engagement to the dignified and honorable Duke of Granville. However all Juliet's plans go awry when she meets the scandalous but sinfully attractive Duke of Evesham. The wild libertine is the last man Juliet wants to find irresistible, yet somehow she can't keep her hands off him. And suddenly to her chagrin, nobody is calling Juliet either pure or proper! He's no Romeo... After nine riotous years on the Continent, Lucas Hebden, Duke of Evesham, has returned to London, trailing a well-earned reputation as a rake and a reprobate. But an unexpected loss in a card game finds him far from London's fleshpots and playing at amateur dramatics in the country. Even worse, he's starting to confuse the poetic passion in Romeo and Juliet with the real-life passion that has him pursuing his disapproving but breathtakingly lovely leading lady. It's clear that Lady Juliet Frain has no time for bad boys, and any sensible man would give up - but then nobody ever called Evesham sensible! When Juliet's suitor Granville arrives to propose, it's the battle of the dukes! Once the curtain falls, which duke will emerge victorious and take the starring role in Juliet's heart?
