A MOST RELUCTANT YOUNG BEAUTY...
Jane had always been the cleverest and most sensible sister among the dazzling and strong-willed Lacebridge belles. Devoted to her late husband's memory, she could not possibly allow herself to be attracted so soon to someone else -- particularly a man as unattainable as the dashing, sought-after Duke of Gressingham. She would be a gracious widow, an attentive aunt, an unselfish observer -- but not a participant -- in the busy social life of Bath. She could never have guessed she would become unwittingly involved in an explosive battle of wills and a sophisticated web of deception with the formidable and possessive Duchess, who seemed to read more into her son's lavish attentions to Jane than she herself did. Surely the Duke was only being kind to her and her family. Or was he?
