Rogues and Roses – serie

And so, the marriage games begin. The Duke of Hawkhurst is proud - and really rather, well, poor! He has an enormous estate, and a longstanding pedigree, but his ancestors have gambled, frittered, and otherwise simply lost the Hawkhurst fortune. Luckily, there are American heiresses galore coming to snare titled gentlemen, and put their money to good use keeping the castles sturdy and the estates afloat. Lady Louisa St John - the daughter of an earl and the sister of an earl - is forced to become essentially a finishing governess to Jenny Rose. Hawkhurst has decided that the American, Jenny, should be his bride, but it's Louisa who loves him...and Louisa whom he eventually realises he loves with a passion he's never felt before...
