What happens when the most eligible bachelor in England mistakes a lady for a servant? Mayhem, of course.
And Lady Elizabeth dislikes anything that draws attention to herself. Which is why she's hiding in the kitchen when the most distinguished and available guest arrives, The Duke of Wingate. It's not as though she has a chance no matter how many match making schemes her mother and his aunt can cook up. Why would one of the most powerful men in England want her?
He's too rough for someone as delicate as her.
As a duke, he'll have to marry and make an heir. There's no question about that. But he's little patience for games and even less for courting. He's busy and besides, he'll not allow a few scheming biddies to dictate his future.
Which is why he sneaks into the kitchen of his aunt's house rather than entering through the front door. He'll show them. But his attempts to foil their plans send him crashing, literally, into Lady Evelyn.
Yes, she's beautiful, and sweet, and gentle, and completely wrong for him. Isn't she? Definitely. Possibly. perhaps a kiss will help him decide.
