There are two things everyone knows about Alexander Ridgely - One , hes the Duke of Ashbourne and two he has no plans to marry..That is until a redheaded American Throws herself in front of a carriage to save his young nephews life. Shes everything Alex never thought a woman could be, smart, funny, principled, brave, but shes a servant, completely unsuitable for a highborn duke unless perhaps, shes not what she seems. American heiress Emma Dunster might be surrounded by Englishmen but that doesn't mean she intends to marry one, even if she has agreed to participate in one of Londons season. When she slipped out of her cousins home, dresses as a kitchen maid, all she wanted was one last taste of anonymity before her debut. She never dreamed shed find herself in the arms of a dangerously handsome duke or that he would be so upset when he discovered her true identity. But true love tends to blossom just when one least expects it and passion can melt even the most stubborn of hearts.
