INDIA HOLTON author of The Wisteria Society of Lady Scoundrels A swoony feminist funny
Regency romance from the author of the Halifax Hellions series perfect for fans of Tessa Dare
Martha Waters and Lex Croucher. Step 1: Find perfect wife. Step 2: Save reputation from ruin.
Step 3: Do not at any cost fall in love with Selina Peter Kent - newly inherited Duke of
Stanhope - must become respectable. Between his radical politics and the time he interrupted a
royal wedding with a flock of sheep - not his fault! - he's developed a scandalous reputation
entirely at odds with his goal of becoming guardian to his orphaned half-siblings. To improve
his public image he turns for help to the most clever proper (and managing) young woman in
London society: Lady Selina Ravenscroft. Selina advises the Duke that he must marry
immediately with a lady of good breeding and flawless reputation. Which is to say definitely
not Selina. Because this seemingly perfect debutante has a secret: she runs an erotic
circulating library for ladies of the ton. Selina is determined to find Peter the perfect
wife. But her matchmaking doesn't go to plan and in between dodging scandals and trying to
keep the Duke's reckless hijinks under control Selina discovers to her horror that she is
attracted to him. All things considered she may not be the only one struggling with desire . .
