About This Book
When a duke meets his match in mischief …
Matthew, the 5th Duke of Elmhurst, is certain he's destined for the same madness that befell his father. He's resigned to a life of solitude, with only his thriving empire for companyâ€"powered, he's convinced, by a lucky pocket watch inherited through generations. But during a seemingly mundane visit to Mrs. Rutley's School for Young Women, his prized timepiece goes missing. Instantly, he points a finger at Miss Julia Wallace, the charming young lady who managed to bump into him quite suspiciously.
She thought him insufferable until…
In a quirky turn of events, Mrs. Rutley proposes a peculiar solution: the company of Julia herself to make up for the loss. Julia, more accustomed to tea parties than thievery, reluctantly steps into the role of the Duke's personal charmâ€"lucky or otherwise.
Falling for her wasn't in the planâ€"it was in the misstep.
As they navigate this awkward arrangement, Julia uncovers the layers of Matthew's eccentric fears of solitude and insanity. What starts as a mutual arrangement slowly blooms into something neither can deny. With each tick of the missing watch, their connection deepens, sparking a light-hearted battle between love and madness. Can they find humor in their predicament and possibly, just maybe, fall ridiculously in love?
Luck led him to her; love made him stay.
Join USA Today bestselling author Jennifer Monroe for a whimsical journey through misunderstandings and mishaps, proving that sometimes, love is just a lucky charm away.
