A bold woman known as the "duchess of Magnus" was wagered -- and won -- in a card game. But the woman who arrived was her shy, quiet cousin Eleanor.
Eleanor de Lacy must have been mad to agree to exchange identities with her stronger-willed cousin. She would never convince Remington Knight of the folly of this union -- especially since the man seemed so determined for it to take place. Worse still, she finds Remington dazzlingly attractive -- and she's charmed by his attempts to seduce her, even though he believes she is already his. But if he ever learns of Eleanor's deception, this daring rogue will wreak havoc upon her reputation and her heart.
Remington had expected a haughty, unbending aristocrat who would ensure his entrance into good society. But this "duchess" is a most pleasant surprise -- modest, warm-hearted, endearingly awkward, and a delight to the eye. In short, she is exactly the sort of bride Remington could fall passionately, completely in love with

I'm always intrigued by the synopsis of her books and then disappointed in the delivery. I know lots of people like her books, so I think it's just a taste thing.

Good book, several funny episodes and steamy scenes! Eleanor is posing as her almost identical cousin and gets trapped by Madeline's fiance who has moved up the wedding.

This book provides an enjoyable conclusion to the 2 book "Trading Places" Series. I would highly recommend both this book and the first book in the series "Scandalous Again".

This book has a 'cinderella' plot romantic readers will love. The heroine is sweet and smart and the plot is very well written.
