All's fair in love and matrimony in Nicola Cornick's wildly romantic new series that introduces the ladies of Fortune's Folly—spirited heiresses who are more than a match for society's most dashing rogues! The epitome of privilege and power, the handsome Duke of Welburn sets all the ladies' hearts aflutter as he strides into the village of Fortune's Folly. For Eve Nightingale this fluttering is a mixture of wariness and wonder. Once his glittering society mistress—caught up in his glamorous world by day and tangled in his bedsheets by night—she is now no more than a penniless yet proud shopkeeper. It's a world Eve can't go back to—she has secrets to keep. But this determined duke seems very keen on unravelling them....
