A wallflower breaks free…

Only to fall hard -- for the duke!

Adventurous, free-spirited Sylvia Bryant has no intention of entering the London marriage mart -- she plans to return to Antigua and her mother, whom she was forced to leave. But first that means breaking free from her prison of a finishing school! Only when she makes her daring escape, the last thing she expects is to literally land in a duke's lap! Now Sylvia and Theodore are forced into an engagement, which Sylvia certainly doesn't want to make permanent. Yet if their union is just for show, why does her attraction to Teddy feel dizzyingly real?
