gloss—while supplies last! Crashing a country house party in Regency England an intrepid
young woman is drawn into the orbit of three delicious gentlemen in this slow burn very sexy
definitely-not-your-mother’s historical romance from internationally bestselling author Emily
Rath. At twenty-two Rosalie Harrow is unmarried and near destitute. She has two choices:
snag a wealthy gentleman or take work as a governess. Neither option appeals to headstrong
Rosalie who sees both futures as a kind of cage. When Rosalie receives an invitation to
Alcott Hall she believes she’s there to meet the Dowager Duchess of Norland the mysterious
childhood friend of her late mother. Instead Rosalie is thrust in the middle of a house party
of eligible high society ladies all desperate to win the hand of the new conveniently single
duke. Hilarity ensues as Rosalie dodges the attentions of the officious duke and weathers the
censure of the other guests all while trying to unravel the mystery of her invitation. And
then there’s the gentlemen… The more Rosalie tries to avoid the high society husband hunt the
more she finds herself charmed by three very different men. There’s Lord James the duke’s
younger brother who is the secret duke in all but name. Lieutenant Renley recently returned
from the West Indies and begrudgingly looking for a wife of his own. And the tempestuous Mr.
Burke who irks Rosalie to no end. The clock ticks down the days to the Michaelmas ball when
the duke is set to announce his bride. Marriage is a trap and Rosalie will not be easily
snared…but that doesn’t mean she can’t enjoy the chase while it lasts.
