Chemistry sizzles between Lady Marguerite Lennox and Thomas, the Duke of Argyle — communication, less so.
Newly arrived from Paris and enjoying her first London season, Lady Marguerite Lennox has no wish to marry quickly and exchange dancing and flirting for boring wifely duties in a crumbling mansion. So, when the handsome but supercilious Duke of Argyle makes her an offer, she promptly refuses, even though he is the best catch in the matrimonial stakes. Being a duchess holds no charms for her and what is more, she thinks him arrogant and unlikeable. She much prefers her entourage of charming and amusing swains.
Thomas, the Duke of Argyle, will not take no for an answer. Piqued by her refusal, he decides to pursue her as he has never pursued any woman before. He is obsessed with her, although he thinks her headstrong, obstinate and rude. But even after a burning, stolen kiss, and a house party full of tender and erotic moments, Marguerite is still unwilling to marry him. This is driving him insane—she is so different from any other woman he has known, he has no idea how to deal with her.
The duke is tired of locking horns with Marguerite. But what will it take for him to win her heart?
