Publisher Description
Her good friend…
Is suddenly a duke’s heir!
In this Heirs in Waiting story, Miss Jocelyn Sudderfeld is working at Edge Hall, indulging her love of translating ancient texts with her librarian father—and evading the need to marry! She’s always enjoyed a teasing friendship with estate manager Mr Alex Cheverton…until he unexpectedly becomes the Duke’s heir. His first duty is to marry a suitable debutante, not consort with an earnest bluestocking like her…so where does that leave their friendship?
About the author
Long before embarking on romantic adventures of her own, Julia Justiss read about them, transporting herself to such favourite venues as ancient Egypt, World War II submarine patrols, the Old South and, of course, Regency England. Soon she was keeping notebooks for jotting down story ideas. When not writing or traveling, she enjoys watching movies, reading and puttering about in the garden trying to kill off more weeds than flowers.

An Inconvenient Attraction
Alex Cheverton’s employment contract precludes him from marrying for 10 years. Jocelyn has a secret that if exposed could ruin her family. And so each try to suppress their attraction to each other until Alex is suddenly elevated in station which makes a relationship even less likely. However being thrust into the ton helps Alex to clarify the future wife he desires and it is not a cold blooded arrangement with Lady Anne. Obtaining his desire may not be so easy....
Highly recommended, heat level: sweet.
