The Confessions of a Duchess

by Nicola Cornick

"When an ancient tax law is invoked requiring all unmarried ladies to either wed or surrender half their wealth, the quiet village of Fortune's Folly is overrun by a swarm of fortune-hunting bachelors. Marry again? Never! Not after what Laura, the dowager duchess, was forced to endure the first time. Even if her onetime paramour, Dexter Anstrutherm is oh-so-tempting, she knows her secrets would destroy any chance of a future together. Young, handsome and scandalously tempting, Dexter suspects Laura has a hidden motive for resisting his charms ... and he intends to discover it, by any means necessary."--Page 4 of cover.
