It Was A Charade Neither Wanted To End . . .
Tempted by the idea of living a life she could only imagine, Claire Orwell decides to impersonate the flamboyant Duchess of Beaumont when she's mistaken for the merry widow. Of course, there's only one way for the innocent young woman to be convincing - she'll need to seduce the most sought-after man in Saratoga Springs . . . by playing hard to get.
Wealthy, eligible and wildly attractive, Hank Cassidy has never found himself so mesmerized by a woman. After one look, he knows he must make her, his. But the Duchess is not an easy conquest, and he soon finds himself caught in a seductive game of cat and mouse. Until passion gives way to true love - and they discover there's far more to lose than either had bargained for . . .
