The Dreadful Duke

<p><strong>He'd rather carry hod in hell...</strong></p><p>Finn Cathcart an increasingly successful sculptor is having a perfectly fine time on the Continent cavorting with alabaster nymphs and marble goddesses (so to speak) when he's informed that a ducal title awaits him back in England. The same family who disowned Finn's father now needs an heir to prevent all their wealth from falling into Crown's greedy hands.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>...She'd rather he did too.</strong></p><p>Wilhelmina Cathcart is the widow of the previous ducal heir and she has no patience with fledgling peers who come grumbling to their honors. Mina has a daughter to raise meddling family to manage and no time to explain Mayfair society to a stubborn backward contrary duke... even if he is charming and a good listener. Mina and Finn are on the point of admitting a powerful attraction when an enemy close at hand threatens to ruin their hope of a happily ever after. They will have to work together and put aside both well earned pride and treasured prejudices if their shared dream is to bloom into a shared future.</p>
