My Inconvenient Duke. A Difficult Dukes Novel

USA Today bestselling author Loretta Chase continues her Difficult Dukes series with this charming brother's best friend second-chance historical romance. Of all the dukes in all the world, why does it have to be him?Lady Alice Ancaster needs a marriage of convenience, and fast, because her reckless brother is going to get himself killed, leaving the dukedom-and her future-in their repellent cousin's clutches.
In this classic Regency romance, the Duke of Blackwood has known Alice since childhood, and they've always had a special connection. But years ago he broke it, when he chose a riotous life with his two best friends instead of a reasonable one with her. The trouble is, the tall, dark, sardonic rogue keeps turning up exactly when needed. Fueled by witty banter and an undeniable spark, he's ready-though he sometimes needs a push-to play the hero, if only for as long as it takes.
