A modern twist on historical romance! She raised herself to become an independent lawyer. He was raised to become the Duke of Lancaster. Melanie Hamilton has spent her life clawing and fighting to become one of the highest paid female attorneys in New York City. She has it all. The money, the apartment overlooking central park, the career, and the friends. But once she spends a moonlit evening under the stars with a stranger at a masquerade wedding (yes, you read that right), she begins to question all the things she thought would make up a full life. Is her career truly all that she wants? Or does she want more? Daniel Bancroft, the future Duke of Lancaster, has been handed everything in his life on a silver platter. A stellar education? It's expected. Women? Not a problem for a future Duke. Money? He has more than he will ever need. After all, he is heir to a Dukedom. There has been nothing out of his reach. Until now. Daniel is expected to marry. And soon. However, after one passionate embrace with a nameless woman, Daniel has no choice but to decide whether he needs to fall in line with his duty, or to follow his heart.
