A Most Improper Duchess

Vivianne Chevalier is done with dukes.

After another broken promise for a starring role on the Paris stage, the dancer and courtesan vows to walk away from it all. The viperous competition from the other dancers. The manipulations of the European nobility who only care for their own pleasures. Greedy, heartless people who want nothing more than to get ahead, no matter the cost to others. After years of failure, she craves a simple life, like the one she foolishly turned her back on when she was young.

His Grace Arley West is familiar with the traps and trappings of a dukedom.

After all, he was not even six when he became the Duke of Osborne. The constant demands, requests for favours, false friends wanting money, and never really being sure if people respect him, or his title, all are a regular part of his life. Is it any wonder he has become a grumpy recluse, only leaving his villa to attend to his parliamentary duties?

That is, until he finds himself travelling to Paris incognito on a research trip for Spencer and Co Travel. Disguised as a clerk, he meets the vibrant and beautiful Vivianne, and for the first time in his life, he feels as if someone might truly love him for himself.

A whirlwind romance and a proposal follow, and Arley takes his dancer fiancé back to London.

He can't wait to tell her who he really is.

She is going to be so surprised.

After all, doesn't every woman want to be a duchess?
