He's a duke with a chip on his shoulder...she has a crow on hers. Everett Grim, the sixth Duke of Aikens, is bored. He’s bored of being a duke. He’s bored of the same trite vices that used to bring him pleasure. He’s even bored of being bored. With another London Season rapidly approaching, he’s considering skipping the entire damned thing and heading off to parts unknown. Maybe a little adventure will help restore his interest in life. Or maybe what he really needs is a wallflower with a pet crow on her shoulder… Miss Daisy White has been shunned by High Society for her peculiar behavior, and that’s just fine with her. She’d rather spend time with her menagerie of rescued wildlife than spin around a ballroom any day of the week. Nurse a sick fox back to life or attend the theater? The answer is obvious. But when it comes to helping a cynical duke, the waters become a little murkier… Everett doesn’t want a wife. Daisy isn’t looking for a husband. Neither of them are interested in falling in love. But when the Wayward Dukes’ Alliance gets involved, anything is possible!
