Once Upon a Duke's Dream — Ellie St. Clair

Bradley Hainsworth, Duke of Carrington, has no time for the ton or their games, let alone finding a wife. He's a man consumed with revenge and clearing his best friend's name. All roads lead to one Gerard Durand, and Bradley won't rest until he brings the man responsible to justice. When the opportunity to investigate further through Gerard's alluring stepsister presents itself, Bradley can't resist.

Isabella Marriott knows better than anyone that her stepbrother Gerard is not above lying and cheating to get his hands on what he wants. She must find her grandmother's long-lost diary without raising his suspicions in order to find the jewels that will provide her the ticket to freedom.

Bradley is captivated by the beautiful Isabella, though he isn't sure if he can trust the stepsister of the man he suspects. When they find the truths they are searching for, will they determine their feelings for one another are real, or simply a means to their own ends?
