A reluctant Duchess


Lady Anna Trevallyn may be a Duchess by name but she is unlike any other titled female in Boston society. When her best friend Libby disappears unexpectedly from a soiree at her stately home, Anna ignores advice to leave it to the men, and decides to take matters into her own hands and investigate.


A damaged Prince


Libby's brooding brother, His Royal Highness Prince Penforth Armstrong-Leeds, has secretly admired Anna for years, but his war injury means Pen is no longer a suitable catch for anyone, let alone a vibrant and intelligent modern woman such as Lady Trevallyn.


This unlikely duo must work together to find and rescue Libby before her reputation is completely ruined or, even worse, before lives are lost. Will their forced proximity lead to love, or heartbreak?
