The wealthy Duke of Weybridge knows that everyone loves a good surprise…and a good scandal. He has bounteous amounts of both for the guests at his extravagant birthday ball ― particularly for his nieces and nephew, Emily, Isabel, and Lucien. They think his promise to improve their lives means a generous stipend. But he’s got a different gift in mind: finding them perfect matches. His task won’t be easy, because the Arden siblings have given up on love. Lucien is committed to his freewheeling bachelor lifestyle. Emily was brokenhearted when her engagement ended in disgrace. And Isabel’s dreams for a happy marriage were dashed with a terrible betrayal on her wedding night. As the duke’s celebration approaches, his romantic schemes ignite passions and spark more than a few juicy rumors that will have the ton buzzing for years.
The birthday scandal Read this as a suggestion from another reader. Very good read, funny and romantic, although i felt Lucien’s story was a little bit hurried. Overall highly recommended. First time I’ve read a book with 3 stories in it.
Not everyone is what they appear to be! Three unhappy cash strapped siblings are lured to the home of their ill great-uncle, a duke, thinking they will be returning back to their everyday lives a little wealthier.
A Jumbled Story I am not a fan of books that cram in several stories. Leigh Michaels takes what could be three amazing stories then shoves them into the space of one book. I would have rather read three novellas instead of having to keep track of who was interested in whom.
