Will taking a chance on the Duke’s convenient proposal give Miss Charlotte the happy ending she’s been looking for? Find out in this compelling high society romance.

**‘I’ll marry the next eligible lady...**who walks through the door!’

After the death of his dissolute older brother, Dr Ted Scott’s grief is twofold, for he’d rather remain a physician than become the new Duke of Falstone. Reluctantly he must now do his duty and find a bride — whoever that might be!

Charlotte Pearson only has herself to blame that she’s still on the shelf, living with her unpleasant mother after a failed elopement, so Ted’s impulsive proposal is impossible to refuse. He’s clear their marriage is purely for convenience — but that doesn’t address the fact he needs an heir!
