A New York Times Bestselling AuthorSin and SensibilityDaisy Bumgarten isn't thrilled to be trying to catch a duke's attention dressed like a flower pot in a swarm of butterflies. But since her disastrous New York debut, the sassy Nevada spitfire's last chance to "marry well" is across the pond. Now under a countess's tutelage, Daisy is the perfect duchess-in-training -- until notorious ladies' man Lord Ashton Graham glimpses her mischievous smile and feisty nature, and attempts to unmask her motives.
Unconventional American heiress Daisy Bumgarten, who has come to England to marry a duke, sets her sights on bookish Arthur Graham, but is distracted by his disreputable, impoverished younger brother Ashton.
When Frances Bumgarten encounters a handsome stranger in her kitchen in the middle of the night, her first impulse is to wallop the scoundrel on the head with a bread paddle. And when Frankie discovers he is "The Fox," a disarmingly arrogant purveyor of gossip among England?s aristocracy, she?s tempted to take a second swing. Never mind that Reynard Boulton, nephew of the Viscount Tannehill, is returning her inebriated uncle safely home. This chiseled intruder has sparked an infuriating physical sensation unlike anything the feisty Nevada silver heiress has experienced. In fact, the noblemen of London are so dull, Frankie?s sworn off marriage entirely. She will, however, help her younger sister win her own love match?even if it means secretly enlisting Reynard?s enquiring mind. But secrets, as Reynard knows too well, can be costly. For Frankie is yet unaware that a villainous duke is scheming to claim her?and ruin him. Soon they?re racing to uncover the truth?and fueling a passion that won?t stay hidden
