A hidden duke. A spirited bluestocking. A deception that refuses to behave.

Miss Dorothy Blakewood has never been fond of matchmaking. She finds the whole exercise about as diverting as a damp afternoon in Hyde Park and nearly as sensible. Yet with her father’s fortune faltering and society watching, she is expected to marry wisely - preferably to someone wealthy, respectable, and dull beyond endurance.

Enter Mr Nicholas Radford - charming, attentive, and, as it happens, not at all who he claims to be. For Nicholas is the newly titled Duke of Eversly, testing whether affection can bloom without the aid of a coronet. What begins as an innocent disguise soon tangles them both in a web of secrets, admiration, and inconvenient longing.

When a jealous rival threatens to expose the truth, Dorothy must decide whether to protect her heart or the man who has unwittingly captured it. In a world built on appearances, can love born of deception still prove true?

Dorothy and the Duke is the first novel in the Heirs & Graces series - closed-door Regency romances rich with wit, slow-burning affection, and heroines who insist upon thinking for themselves.
