“Delightful, dazzling, and oh-so delicious.” ~Cheryl Bolen, NYT Bestselling Author A reluctant duke. A vicar’s daughter. A forbidden love. Marriage—an unpleasant obligation A troublesome addendum to his father’s will requires Victor, Duke of Sutcliffe to marry before his twenty-seventh birthday or lose his fortune. After a three-year absence, he ventures home, intent upon finding the most biddable and forgettable miss in Essex. A woman who will make no demands upon him and won’t mind being left behind when he returns to London. Except, Victor meets Theadosia Brentwood again and finds himself powerless to resist her—even if she is promised to another and the exact opposite of what he thought he wanted in a duchess. Marriage—an impossible choice Secretly in love with Victor for years, Theadosia is overjoyed when he returns. Until she learns he must marry within mere weeks. When he unexpectedly proposes, she must make an impossible decision. How can Thea elope with him when he’s marrying out of necessity, not love? Besides, if she does wed Victor, her betrothed—a man she loathes—will reveal a scandalous secret. A secret that will send her father to prison and leave her sister and mother homeless. _________________________________________________________________________________________________ This sweet, childhood friends Regency historical by a USA Today bestselling author will make you smile, laugh, and sigh with contentment.
