The Duke’s Bargain in Ink Ebook

A fake-engagement Regency romance. Clara Penworth knows the value of a promise and the trouble of collecting on one. An unpaid printing bill takes the widowed proprietor into a Mayfair ballroom, a sticking conservatory door leaves her alone with the Duke of Ashbourne, and by morning London has supplied a scandal. Marcus Fenn can arrange an estate, a committee, and almost any difficulty placed before him, but Clara refuses his hurried proposal and rewrites the terms of the false engagement meant to protect her livelihood and his sister’s reputation. Their understanding has an end date, and their private feelings have no place in it. Thursday mornings among ink and type reveal a gentleman far less certain than his title suggests, and behind Clara’s sharp wit is a woman determined never again to owe her freedom to someone else’s kindness. As Michaelmas approaches, Marcus must learn how to offer his heart while leaving her future in her own hands. A complete standalone romance; read this collection in any order.
