The Birthday Scandal — Leigh Michaels

The wealthy Duke of Weybridge knows that everyone loves a good surprise…and a good scandal. He has bounteous amounts of both for the guests -- particularly for his nieces and nephew, Emily, Isabel, and Lucien -- at his extravagant seventieth birthday ball. They think his promise to improve their lives means a generous stipend. But he's got different gifts in mind: finding them the perfect matches. His task won't be easy, because the Arden siblings have given up on love.

Bachelor Lucien spends more time merrymaking than looking for a proper wife. His sister Emily, broken-hearted when her betrothal ended in disgrace, committed herself to an early spinsterhood. And Isabel's marriage has been troubled from the moment it began -- with a terrible betrayal on her wedding night.

Though witty and strong-willed, the siblings are no match for their uncle's wily machinations. And as the celebration approaches, his romantic scheming ignites illicit liaisons and irresistible temptations, sparking enough rumors to keep the ton abuzz until his next birthday.
