The Dastardly Duke

<p>Julian LeFevre Duke of Claridge is a notorious and dissolute rake. His half-hearted attempt to reform his character has left him bored to death. To relieve the tedium he wagers a friend that he can mold any pretty trollop from the London streets into a lady who'll pass muster with society's elite. <br><br>But Hannah Gregory is no biddable lump of clay. She has solemn gray eyes a rebellious streak -- and is deaf from a long-ago accident. And although she conceals her real past she can't conceal her attraction to the scoundrel who offers her a small fortune that could pay for a new medical treatment. The charade might heal her but it also might break her heart -- if she forgets that this dark and dangerous duke is well past the point of redemption.</p><p> </p><p><em>Book 2 in the Love in Disguise series of Regency romances featuring daring masquerades with love as the prize.</em></p>
