Publisher's Synopsis
The last thing The Duke of Greystone wants is a wife, until The Lady Jane Blackmore seeks out his quiet corner of Earl Braxton's ballroom. But there she stands, attempting to shut out the rest of the world by simply closing her eyes, but the duke understands better than most that life is never that simple. The last thing Jane wants is a husband, until she opens her eyes to find the scarred and much too handsome stranger secluded in her chosen quiet corner. Why can't the obstinate man understand she just needs a brief moment of solitude before returning to face her tormentors? But no matter how many times she tells him to go away, he remains. So is it her fault that her father misunderstands the young duke's intentions? Whilst marriage isn't on Phillip-as she learns the duke is called-or Jane's mind, when society's trials and tribulations come, they soon become each other's touchstone, and by it discover that joy is tantalisingly within their grasp, although others seem intent on thwarting their every wish.
