The Debutante and the Duke

What happens when one impulsive act leads to an unexpected, unforgettable encounter?

Rayne Wellbrook doesn't belong in London's elite society. Not really. As the step-niece of a powerful duke, she plays the part—while sneaking away for stolen moments of peace, often through the neighbor's garden wall. When she's caught trespassing by a rakishly handsome stranger with a Scottish burr and far-too-knowing eyes, her carefully guarded independence falters.

Fletcher McQuinton, Duke of Kincade, is in London on business and determined to return to Scotland as soon as possible—without a wife in tow. Especially not one of England's spoiled debutantes. But his plans unravel when he encounters the spirited young woman climbing over his garden wall. She's not what he expected, not at all… and suddenly, Fletcher isn't so eager to leave.

With meddling family, mismatched expectations, and stubborn hearts in the way, Rayne and Fletcher must decide if they'll cling to the lives they planned—or risk everything for the love neither saw coming.
