The Peer's Roguish Word: 5 (The Duke's Pact)

A Clever lady and a Cavalier Lord.Kitty Dell is an intellectual and has made certain scientific discoveries she takes a great amount of pride in. For now though she must put her books aside as she is on her way to London for her launch season. She is doubtful that she will meet a gentleman who will appreciate her mind but secretly hopeful of it. She has at least the benefit of being introduced to various members of the esteemed Royal Society and one particular gentleman-member does seem to hold a high regard for her intellect.If Giles Dermot Marquess of Grayson had ever heard of the Royal Society he just as quickly forgot it. He hasnt forgotten Miss Dell however. He met the lady at Newmarket and was instantly charmed. He realizes she considers herself bookish but certainly she will throw over her learned pursuits when the balls and parties commence. As for himself though he has never aspired to dry scholarship he does not think a life well-lived without poetry and Shakespeare. In society he is regarded as the dandiest of the dandies an unrepentant bachelor and a shameless flirt. Mamas are well-advised to steer their daughters elsewhere.As Kitty navigates the unfamiliar waters of the season the Royal Society is threatened with a ruinous mystery. Somebody is set on destroying it and everybody is searching for clues. Including Lord Grayson as how else is he to win Miss Dells scholarly heart?Never were two people less suited. Unless one considers that the gentleman might learn to spend less time on his neckcloth and the lady might learn to spend less time buried in a book.The Dukes PactBook 1 - The Viscounts Sinful BargainBook 2 - The Marquess Daring WagerBook 3 - The Lords Desperate PledgeBook 4 - The Barons Dangerous ContractBook 5 - The Peers Roguish WordBook 6 - The Earls Iron Warrant
