What's worse than an earl, marquess, or viscount? A duke, of course! Which infuriates Lily Grey. Men like him are the problem, they are NEVER a solution. It makes her molar's grind when the Drury Lane Theater insists she visit the man who has been nicknamed the DIFFICULT DUKE to secure funding for their renovation. "Why me?" she asks, barely containing her huff of breath."Because," the director gave her the once over. "You're the prettiest." She wished she might argue but she needed this job as much as the theater needed the financial backing of the duke. But she doesn't have to like it. Or him.And the fact that's he's breathtakingly handsome. That doesn't affect her at all. Absolutely not. All right. Maybe just a little… But she got this job to support herself and she has no intention of being swept away by any man. Least of all an arrogant duke.
