Publisher Description
When an ambitious entrepreneur pretends to be a lady of means, she catches the eye—and heart—of a duke...
Jessica McGale’s family business desperately needs investors and she’s determined to succeed at any cost. But she knows London’s elite will never look twice at a humble farm girl like herself. Posing as “Lady Whitfield,” however, places her in the orbit of wealthy, powerful people—most notably the Duke of Rotherby. His influence and support could save her company, but Jess never expected the effect he’d have on her.
Society thinks Noel is a notorious, carefree duke who dabbles in investments, but there’s a side to him that only his closest friends see. When he crosses paths with Lady Whitfield at a business bazaar, his world tilts on its axis. She’s brilliant and compelling, and brings him to his knees like no woman has before. Trust is difficult for Noel, but Jess makes him believe anything is possible. . .
As time ticks down on her Cinderella scheme, the thought of achieving her goal at Noel’s expense breaks Jess’s heart. He doesn’t just want her now, he wants her forever. But will her secret end their future before it begins?
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
What seems like a storybook romance might be a complete disaster. Determined to save her rural family’s soapmaking business, Jessica McGale invents a posh alter ego named Lady Whitfield. The ruse enables her to solicit investments from England’s elite—including a cavalier (and gorgeous!) young duke named Noel. Narrator Melissa Kingsley’s lilting voice and prim British accent transported us straight to Regency-era England. We could feel the butterflies in Jessica’s stomach as she realizes that Noel is actually loving, kindhearted, and completely bewitched by Lady Whitfield’s strength and intelligence. His cavalier attitude is an act that hides his trust issues—which will certainly leave him heartbroken when he discovers that Lady Whitfield doesn’t exist. We love this romance’s fierce, take-charge heroine...and that those are the exact things Noel can’t resist about her. We couldn’t wait to hear if the two would get their happy ending.
