the Gambling Dukes A Gamble on Duke

Alfred, Duke of Kineallen, never accepts defeat. And that's exactly why I need to find a woman to pretend to be courting-because the potential saviour of the Gambling Dukes requires a business partner who's ready to settle down. So what do I do? Find a placid debutante, perhaps speak to another duke and choose his daughter? No. I literally run headfirst into a lady with no manners or sense, make her a proposition she can't refuse, and move Miss Catherine Shenton into my house. Precisely why I'm also finding her in my mind, my dreams-my longings-I couldn't say... Only one person can win a gamble on the duke: and it's got to be me. If I lose this gamble, I'll lose myself to Catherine Shenton... Tropes to enjoy: fake dating, marriage of convenience, found family, bet/wager This is the fourth in a series of four novels which can be read in any order - each have a happily ever after, no cliffhangers, fiery heroines and rakish heroes...
