The Fairest of Them All: Marrying the Duke [Mass Market Paperback] Maxwell, Cathy

A duke who's sworn off marriage. A woman who needs a husband immediately. And a house party where the stakes couldn't be higher. Cathy Maxwell delivers a Regency romp where attraction and desperation collide in the most inconvenient way possible. When our heroine finds herself in dire straits, she crashes an exclusive matchmaking event designed to find England's most eligible bachelor a bride. The problem? He's determined to stay single, and she's the last person he should want. But chemistry doesn't care about logic, and what begins as a scheme becomes something far more complicated. Maxwell writes sparks-flying banter and slow-burn tension with the kind of pacing that makes "just one more chapter" a dangerous game. If you're after witty Regency romance with genuine heat and characters who feel like they're enjoying themselves as much as you are, this delivers.
