Charming a Scoundrel

Miss Valera Bell has spent half the Season with the wallflowers, but now that she's armed with an enchanted Romany necklace guaranteed to win a duke's heart, she's ready to conquer the marriage mart. That is until the newly eligible Duke of Kelmsworth barely spares her a glance after an orchestrated run-in leaves her flat on her bum. With her confidence in magic shaken, she begins to question if it's possible to win the heart of a man who seems to lack one.

But her hope is restored when her best friend's dashing brother, the Earl of Ravenswood, asks her to dance. Suddenly, her dance card is filling up and the duke takes notice. Valera may have found something even better than Romany magic to catch a duke: a little healthy competition. But can she form an alliance with the charming scoundrel Lord Ravenswood without risking her reputation and her heart?
