Description
Bookish Lady Olympia Hightower is supposed to be thrilled by her upcoming marriage to a celebrated “catch”—until she realizes the life of a duchess isn’t the future she wants. In a desperate, laugh-out-loud bid for freedom, she makes a daring escape that turns her wedding plans into a full-blown pursuit. Hugh Philemon Ancaster, the 7th Duke of Ripley, has every reason to treat the situation as duty—yet Olympia’s sharp wit and stubborn independence make it harder to do the right thing and easier to want the wrong one. With Loretta Chase’s signature sparkle of period-accurate charm, clever wordplay, and simmering romantic tension, this rollicking historical romp explores the power of choice, the performance of virtue, and what happens when duty collides with desire.
