Project Duchess
(Book)

A series of stepfathers and a difficult childhood have left Fletcher “Grey” Pryde, 5th Duke of Greycourt, with a guarded heart, enviable wealth, and the undeserved reputation of a rogue. Greys focus on expanding his dukedom allows him little time to find a wife. But when his mother is widowed yet again and he meets the charmingly unconventional woman managing his stepfathers funeral, hes shocked to discover how much they have in common. Still, Grey isnt interested in love, no matter how pretty, or delightfully outspoken, the lady . . . Beatrice Wolfe gave up on romance long ago, and the arrogant Duke of Greycourt with his rakish reputation isnt exactly changing her mind. Then Grey agrees to assist his grief-stricken mother with her latest “project”: schooling spirited, unfashionable Beatrice for her debut. Now that Beatrice is seeing through Greys charms to his wounded heart, shes having trouble keeping him at arms length. But once Grey starts digging into her familys secrets, she must decide whether her loyalties lie with her family . . . or with the man whose lessons capture her heart . . .
