The Duke's Double — Winifred Witton

LOVE BY THE BOOK...

After her papa's death left her nearly penniless, Celeste Moreau packed her portmanteau and sailed away from France. Once in Britain, she would heed the advice of her favorite novel and snare a duke (not a baronet, for they were always rogues!). All she had to do was to arrive at Ault Castle and pretend to be a governess. Lord Ault would see her and voila!--instantly lose his heart.

Zut alors!...a match with a nobleman was not so simple. The foppish lord already had a fiancee named Marianna -- and she had just been abducted! That was how Celeste met Sir Geoffrey Cole, Marianna's guardian-and a wickedly handsome baronet! One look, and Celeste swooned. One kiss, and she knew what to expect: seduction and certain ruin. Unless she could make this baronet act out of character--and marry for love!

Hero: Sir Geoffrey Cole
Heroine: Celeste Moreau
