A Duke Of Her Own

The financial problems of her family sends Lady Louisa Wentworth into a position of a chaperon to an American heiress. Resigned with the fact that she will be a spinster, she sets out to marry off Miss Jenny Rose.

Randolph, the Duke of Hawkhurst(Hawk) needs to marry for money and as soon as possible. He needs an heiress and Jenny Rose will do. Unfortunately the most annoying lady is her chaperon.  Hawk needs Louisa’s help to court Miss Rose but she refuses to subject her ward to a man like Hawkhurst. She knew he was a rake and now a fortune hunter.

At a party Hawk and Louisa share a dance. He wants to convince her that he could be a good suitor to her charge. Instead she dreams of being the one he is pursuing. She know she has nothing to offer a husband financially so she concentrates on getting her heiress married off. Hawk woes Miss Jenny but somehow can’t get her chaperon out of his mind.

Unfortunately Hawk is getting more desperate to close the deal. The heiress is not making her decision fast enough for him. He devises a plan to compromise Miss Jenny but instead of the heiress in his arms it is her chaperone. Louisa and Hawk are caught and she is completely ruined……

Lorraine Heath is a very good author. I was impressed with the story and enjoyed reading it! I loved the characters.
