Heโs Not The Marrying Kindโฆ
The Duke of Rathmore is not the sort of man to indulge in a happily ever after. Chase gave up on love, and even affection, a long time ago. He spends his days managing his dukedom and his nights in far less wholesome pleasures. Which is why he canโt believe his luck when a spring storm lands him on the doorstep of the Moorish family. The Honorable Thomas Moorish has five stunning daughters, each more delectable than the last. And most beautiful of all, the eldest, Miss Ophelia.
Sheโs Certain Love Is The Answerโฆ
After the death of her mother, Ophelia has spent much of her youth helping to raise her four younger sisters. At nearly two and twenty, sheโs yet to have a season or even any romance of her own. But what sheโs lacked in real life excitement, Opheliaโs imagined through the pages of all her favorite books. And when a handsome duke lands on her door, sheโs certain this is her chance for a real-life fairytale. Except after their magical first kiss, everything goes wrong. She knows the plot and he isnโt following it. Instead of asking for her hand, Rathmore gives her a polite but cold, thank you. And rather than professing his love, he announces heโll leave first thing the next morning. The manโs not her prince at all but a complete rogue.
Opheliaโs tempted to give up romancing this rake. But he hints at a past filled with so much hurt, sheโs certain if she broke through that hard heart, sheโd find a man in desperate need of her affection.
Is it possible he is the one who needs to be saved?
