βSimply delightful!β βJulia Quinn
Miss Evelyn Graves has never had a holiday. She is much too busy as the personal secretary to the Countess of Waverly. But the Duke of Ballymore Castle in Connemara, Ireland, has invited the countess to visitβand as the countess cannot travel, she has insisted Evelyn go in her stead. Except when Evie arrives, everyone mistakes her for the countessβand itβs clear the family who owns crumbling Ballymore were hoping to match the widowed countess with Alexander Pierpont, Duke of Rennick. Though Alex knows the truth of Evieβs identity, he has an unusual request. Heβll happily show her hospitality if sheβll agree to let others think sheβs the countess during her visit.
Thereβs just one problem: as time runs out on their arrangement and Alex increasingly fears he must in fact marry an heiress to save his familyβs fortunes, he finds that his heart now belongs to Miss Evie Gravesβ¦and he canβt bring himself to let her go.
