When a wealthy American heiress and a cash-strapped English duke enter a marriage of convenience in Regency London, the sparks fly-but their greatest battle is across their own hearts and social codes. An American shipping heiress. An English duke desperate for fortune. A marriage that ignites London society-and their hearts. Teresa "Tracy" Bodmin arrives in 1819 London with her father's millions and a bold ambition: to claim her place among England's elite. When Adrian Deincourt, the Duke of Hastings, proposes marriage to save his crumbling estates, Tracy accepts-not for love, but to fulfill her dying father's dream. Yet beneath the glittering ballrooms and political intrigue of Regency England, two fiercely independent souls discover that duty and desire are not so easily separated. Tracy's republican ideals clash with aristocratic tradition, while Adrian's guarded heart battles the unexpected passion his American bride awakens. As scandal threatens and old flames resurface, their marriage of convenience becomes a battleground for loyalty, identity, and a love neither anticipated. Can an American heiress and an English duke bridge the chasm between two worlds? When jealousy, political crisis, and the ghosts of their pasts converge, Tracy and Adrian must decide whether their union will crumble under pressure-or whether the passion they've ignited is worth fighting for against all odds. Perfect for fans of Lisa Kleypas, Mary Balogh, and readers who loved Julia Quinn's Bridgertonseries.
