Description de l’éditeur
In the New York Times–bestselling author's Regency romance, an old dog learns new tricks, inherits a fortune, and leads two humans to love.
After spending her life at an orphanage, young Emily is brought to the opulent estate of Sir Peregrine Manley, where she is employed as companion to the old man's dog. Duke, scraggly old hound, is the only member of the family Sir Peregrine cares for. And while the rest of his family greedily awaits his death, he's arranged to have the last laugh . . .
Some shocking revelations are made at the reading of Sir Peregrine's will. Not least of which is that Emily and Duke have each inherited a fortune in diamonds—as long as she can keep the dog alive. Now, while protecting Duke from canine assassination, Emily must also watch out for Lord Storm—the man threatening to steal her heart . . .
