James Antón Marquez Amherst is a reluctant duke. Torn between his dual English and Spanish heritages, he has all but forsaken his English roots—and the responsibilities tied to them. But all that changes when he meets Madeleine Atherton, the daughter of a wealthy English earl. A romantic masquerading as a cynic, Madeleine has long understood the inadequacies of her parents’ union, and she vows never to fall into the societal trap of loveless marriage. But that’s only if she can outwit her mother, who puts even the most machinating society mamas to shame. To succeed, Madeleine will need a powerful ally, and she finds it in the handsome duke, who is intrigued by the beautiful debutante and decides to come to her aid—if only to make her his mistress once she’s married. Misunderstandings and half-truths abound, and Madeleine and James must learn to trust themselves and each other, or they risk losing their one chance at true happiness.
