She has spent her life defying expectations, playing male roles on London's seediest stages, and doing whatever she pleases. When Harry is contacted by her hitherto anonymous father, she finds herself at risk of losing the trust fund that's subsidized her lifestyle--unless she begins to lead a more respectable life, starting with finding a husband. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eEmily Sergeant, the picture of modesty, has only ever wanted to marry. And were it not for one mistake in her youth that rendered her a social pariah, she would be appropriately betrothed. Instead, she's due to wed the only willing--and most abominable--man in her small town. Desperate for an alternative, Emily flees to London to snag a less lecherous fiancé. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWorlds collide, dramatically and hilariously, when both women decide on the very same duke as their best possible chance at a tolerable husband and a secure future. A tongue-in-cheek romp through London's summer season, from balls to brothels, horseraces to duels, Harry and Emily compete for the duke's favor, only to find their true hearts' desires may be more compatible than they could have ever predicted.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMackenzi Lee \u003c\/b\u003eis the \u003ci\u003eNew York Times \u003c\/i\u003ebestselling author of ten books, including\u003ci\u003e The Gentleman's Guide to Vice and Virtue\u003c\/i\u003e, a Stonewall Honor book, New England Book Award winner, and NPR and \u003ci\u003eVulture\u003c\/i\u003e best book of the year.
