Pretty
and popular, Miss Clare Westmore knows exactly what (or rather, who) she wants:
the next Duke of Harrington. But when she twists her ankle on the eve of the
Season’s most touted event, Clare is left standing in the wallflower line
watching her best friend dance away with her duke.
Dr. Daniel Merial is tempted to deliver more than a diagnosis to London’s most unlikely wallflower, but he doesn’t have time for distractions, even one so delectable. Besides, she’s clearly got her sights on more promising prey. So why can’t he stop thinking about her?
All Clare wants to do is return to the dance floor. But as her former friends try to knock her permanently out of place, she realizes with horror she is falling for her doctor instead her duke. When her ankle finally heals and she faces her old life again, will she throw herself back into the game?
Or will her time in the wallflower line have given her a glimpse of who she was really meant to be?

Dear
Diary,
If
a man’s worth is measured in pounds, a woman’s is measured in dance steps.
And
if those dance steps are with a future duke, surely they are worth all the
more.
Mr.
Alban, the future Duke of Harrington, asked me to dance again last night, the
third time since the start of the Season. My friends are abuzz with what he
might ask next, and I must confess, I hope it is something more significant
than a dance. I know the Season has just begun, but surely a proposal cannot be
far from his mind?
When
I feel the sting of jealousy from the less fortunate girls lining the walls, I
remind myself some casualties are inevitable if I am to dance all the way to a
ducal mansion. Any girl who feels tempted to accept the first offer that comes
their way would do well to comfort themselves on the arm of a mere marquess.
The
Future Duchess of Harrington
