However, when the stone guides her to the notorious rake, the Duke of Rutland, she is certain it must be mistaken. Determined to find a more suitable match, she dismisses the possibility of love with a rogue. But as fate would have it, Annie repeatedly crosses paths with the duke, making her question whether the stone's magic is wiser than her own judgment. A lady too enticing to resist… Evan Colborne, the Duke of Rutland, is utterly captivated by Lady Annabelle Lindlow.

True love's ultimate test… Just as Lady Annabelle and the Duke of Rutland begin to embrace their burgeoning feelings, disaster strikes, threatening to tear them apart.

Book Description
For exactly one season, Lady Charlotte Wentworth played the biddable female the ton expected - and all it got her was society's mockery and derision. Now she's determined to be in charge of her own future. So when an unwanted suitor tries to manipulate her into an engagement, she has a plan. He can't claim to be her fiancé if she's engaged to someone else. Even if it means asking for help from the last man she would ever marry. Ethan, Viscount Amesbury, made a lot of mistakes, but the one he regrets the most is ruining Lady Charlotte's reputation. Going along with her charade is the least he can do to clean the slate and perhaps earn her forgiveness. Pretending to be in love with the woman he's never forgotten is easy. What isn't easy is convincing her to give him a second chance.
