Why Do Dukes Fall in Love?

Michael, the Duke of Hadlow, has the liberty of enjoying an indiscretion ... or several. But when it comes time for him to take a proper bride, he ultimately realizes he wants only one woman: Edwina Cheltam. He hired her as his secretary, only to quickly discover she was sensuous and intelligent. They embark on a passionate affair, and when she breaks it off, he accepts her decision as the logical one ... but only at first. Then he decides to pursue her. Michael is brilliant, single-minded, and utterly indifferent to being the talk of the ton. It even said his only true friend is his dog. Edwina had begged him to marry someone appropriate--someone aristocratic ... someone high-born ... someone else. But the only thing more persuasive than a duke intent on seduction is one who has fallen irrevocably in love.
