Once and Future Duchess The

A duchess in time saves a noble line …In theory the Duke of Candover is the most eligible peer in the realm. But in truth he has a deep aversion to the merest hint of marriage not to mention two botched engagements which have marked his jaded soul. Now after a debauched bachelor party that causes public outcry the Prince Regent is demanding that it''s Candover''s turn to be brought to heel. And Prinny secretly believes that Isabelle Tremont the Duchess of March is precisely the lady up to the challenge.Isabelle must marry but a day of reckoning with the man she''s loved for years is her greatest fear. If Candover insists she''s too young and innocent for a seasoned world-weary man like him there''s no shortage of other candidates. Gentlemen of prestige and position. Gentlemen whose attentions are driving Candover to jealous distraction. Yet one abandoned moment under the stars hints that if they can put aside pride and duty then a love once denied might just be their destiny.
