Work Description
The Duke of Lyveden needed a wife--but which of three eligible ladies of the Ton would be most suitable?
The best way to choose, he decided, was to arrive in London with a fraudulent fiancee--and judge the ladies' true characters by how they behaved toward her. And what better choice to play he role than a beautiful young woman from Yorkshire whom no one in Society knew?
Antoinette Aston was ready to accept the offer for the Duke had rescued her from a fate worse than death, and she did not know where else to go, whom to trust--or even who she was!
