"They are wallflowers, bluestockings, merry widows, and debutantes--members of a secret, exclusive Lady's Club in Berkeley Square! Here ladies indulge in daring wagers, learn to fight, read scandalous books, and learn the art of wooing the gentlemen they will bring to their knees ... Sebastian Crawford, Duke of Hartford, cares about his duty, honor, and family. He has everything planned: his sister is engaged, and now plans to select his duchess from a list of eligible debutantes. The last thing he expects is his sister to go missing a few weeks before her wedding! Lady Theodosia Winfern is upset when a devilishly attractive duke accuses her of persuading his sister to run from her duties. He declares that Theo won't leave his side (even if it means sleeping in his chamber) until his sister is found. Theo has little choice but to go along with his scandalous demands. The last thing she wants is the powerful duke as her enemy, especially as he knows about her secret lady's club! Both are quick to deny the increasingly fiery attraction between them until temptation becomes irresistible and passion can no longer be denied." --Back cover.
