Book description
Tarquin, the powerful Duke of Sconce, knows perfectly well that the
decorous and fashionably slender Georgiana Lytton will make him a proper
duchess. So why can't he stop thinking about her twin sister, the curvy,
headstrong, and altogether unconventional Olivia? Not only is Olivia
betrothed to another man, but their improper - albeit intoxicating -
flirtation makes her unsuitability all the more clear. Determined to
make a perfect match, he methodically cuts Olivia from his thoughts,
allowing logic and duty to triumph over passion . . . until, in his
darkest hour, Tarquin begins to question whether perfection has anything
to do with love. To win Olivia's hand he would have to give up all the
beliefs he holds most dear, and surrender heart, body and soul - but it
may already be too late. 'Romance writing does not get better than this'
