The scandal of the season! For American Katrina Vandenberg, the rules of London Society are stifling. So when a rare moment of solitude at a particularly tedious ball is interrupted, she's disappointed...until she lays eyes on a very handsome stranger! Julian Carlisle, Duke of Lyonsdale, is destined for a dull marriage of convenience, and Katrina couldn't be further from the docile, blue-blooded bride he needs. An affair would be scandalous...but can there be a way for this highly unsuitable woman to become Julian's perfect duchess after all?
