THE UNWORTHY DUKE

Charlotte Anne $27.99

-

She’s running from her past; he’s hiding from his.

Miss Ellen Burney doesn’t have a penny to her name.

Determined to escape scandal, she flees to London and becomes Miss Smith: spinster and lady’s companion. London offers security in anonymity. So long as Ellen can rein in her overactive imaginatio­n and become the perfect picture of propriety.

Calum Callaghan spent ten years in the Royal Navy fighting Napoleon and has the scars to prove it. Now he’s a duke, but all of London thinks he murdered his brother. Heartbroke­n and battle weary, he’s locked himself away for four long years, a prisoner in his own townhouse.

That is, until Cal’s grandmothe­r comes to stay with him for the London Season, her new lady’s companion in tow. A lady’s companion with a passion for life and love that can hardly be contained by even the most spinsteris­h of lace caps. She’s fooling nobody, especially not this grumpy duke.
