The Lady and the Duke

Please be advised: This is a novella. It is not a full length book. Thank you!

Miss Audrey Ellis is miserable. She hates London, high society and their famed Marriage Mart. All she wants is to return home to her father's country estate, never to be forced to endure the sly, subtle stings of the other, more elegant and refined, debutantes. But when Audrey meets a man with whom she shares an instant connection, she realizes she might have to give up her carefully laid plans, if she wants something more.
William Langston, the Duke of Halford wasn't looking for love. He had come to Town looking for his sister's blackmailer, in fact, hoping to head off a scandal in the making. But the Viscount of Claremont is more elusive than Will was prepared for, and leads him on a chase through society's drawing rooms and balls. Will finds himself distracted from his mission by Audrey's fresh beauty and lack of pretension, something scarce in his rarefied world.
The pair are drawn together despite their differences, but soon scandal looms, rumors spread...and danger is closer than ever before.
