Waking Up With the Duke
“He intended to make the most of the coming Season. Next year Jayne and Walfort would no doubt decide it was time to return to London. He wanted to have a wife in hand before then, one who would be content to live in the country and never again set foot in a ballroom.
Fortunate for him, Claire was well ensconced in Society and knew which ladies would have their coming out and who, from Seasons past, still remained available. She’d prepared a list of candidates to assume the mantle of his duchess.... He’d encountered a couple of the ladies at Walfort’s when he was there for the fox hunt. He immediately scratched them from the list. Those who were ten and seven went next. What did he need with a child?

Within the hour, he had scratched off every name without having met most of the women.MoreLess
