Her only escape is her favorite charity. When she learns that a child is in trouble, she turns to the expert on that subject: tall, dark and supremely annoying barrister, Oliver Radford.Radford is a barrister renowned for his brilliance and complete disregard for politeness and polite society; ironic, now that he finds himself in line to inherit a dukedom. Lady Clara is utterly lovely, and may not be entirely bereft of brains, but she isn't part of his plans, until she somehow overwhelms his own infallible logic. When wedlock looms, all he can do is try not to lose his head over her, unlike every other sapskull in London.It's an inconvenient marriage by ordinary standards, but the ton's most adored heiress and most difficult bachelor are far from ordinary. Has England's least likely couple fallen victim to their own unruly desires?"Queen of love and laughter Chase returns with a laugh-out-loud novel destined for the keeper shelf. There's hardly time to breathe between giggles and guffaws...The result is perfection." -Romantic Times, TOP PICK"One of the finest romance authors of all time." -Julia Quinn"Wickedly witty, warm, and engaging." -Stephanie Laurens 410 4$aThe Dressmakers Series 610 $aFiction 700 $aChase$b Loretta$01347788 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910158918903321 996 $aDukes Prefer Blondes$93586648 997 $aUNINA
