Lust is prohibited, and love is out of the question.Charlene Beckett, the unacknowledged daughter of an earl and a courtesan, has just been offered a life-altering fortune to pose as her half-sister, Lady Dorothea, and win the duke's proposal. All she must do is:Be the perfect English rose (Ha!)Breathe, smile, and curtsy in impossibly tight gowns (blast Lady Dorothea's sylph-like figure)Charm and seduce a wild duke (without appearing to try)Keep said duke far, far from her heart (no matter how tempting)When secrets are revealed and passion overwhelms, James must decide if the last lady he should want is really everything he needs. And Charlene must decide if the promise of a new life is worth risking everything . . . including her heart.Contains mature themes. 676 $a813.6 700 $aBell$b Lenora$01434942 702 $aCrick$b Beverley A.$4nrt 906 $aAUDIO 912 $a9910151960003321 996 $aHow the Duke Was Won$93592032 997 $aUNINA
