Don't Let Your Dukes Grow Up To Be Scoundrels - Dukes in Disguise, #1 - E-book - ePub

A LADY FORTUNE HUNTERLady Gemma Lively's life as the darling of London's fast set was carefree and fun, filled with exciting friends, daring fashions, and scandalous parties. But when the death of her father leaves her family with nothing but a dilapidated coaching inn at the end of the Earth, it's up to Gemma to change their fate. She needs a rich husband immediately-but the only bachelor in sight is a devilishly distracting barkeep who doesn't know the peerage from a pint glass.
A DUKE IN DISGUISEWhen Hal Deveril meets the new owners of Five Mile House, he sees right away that they're Trouble. The eldest Lively sister is an unabashed fortune hunter, so Hal hides his true identity in the first place he can find-behind the bar of his local pub. He doesn't have time for Gemma's wild scheme to entice eligible gentlemen to the inn and seduce one into marriage-he's too busy trying to rebuild his crumbling estate.
AN IMPOSSIBLE MATCHExcept Hal can't seem to resist seducing Gemma himself. Every sizzling argument, every tempting touch, every secret kiss draws them closer together, but while he might not be the barkeep she thinks he is, he's also not the wealthy Duke she's hoping for..even if he wants to give her everything he has, including his heart.
