Not only because she does not love the Duke but also because she is already madly in love with another, the charming and handsome Edward Dalkirk.ĭesperate to help her older sister, the aptly named young ‘elfin’ beauty, Lady Elfa Allerton, secretly waylays the Duke of Lynchester in his chaise and begs him to marry her instead and to leave her sister free for the man who she truly loves and adores.Įlfa from her childhood is fascinated by woods and goes to a wood to talk to the trees and immerses herself in the magic all around her and in times of difficulty she prays to the God of trees, Sylvanos, for his help and guidance and he always helps her. When their father, the Duke of Northallerton, offers his daughter Caroline’s hand in marriage to his neighbour, the Duke of Lynchester, purely as a means of settling once and for all an ancient land dispute, she is appalled. It seems Julius has a secret plan all his own-one that will solve a dark mystery from his past, and perhaps turn him into the kind of man Nora could truly love. But to Nora’s horror, Julius transforms himself into the perfect fiancé, charming the very people she hoped he would offend. Julius is intrigued by Nora’s ruse and decides to play along.

Who then is the most appalling man in Manhattan? The wealthy, devilishly handsome financier, Julius Hatcher, of course….

Nora seeks a mate so abhorrent, so completely unacceptable, that her father will reject the match-leaving her free to marry the artist she loves. Lady Honora Parker must get engaged as soon as possible, and only a particular type of man will do. Summary Set in New York City’s Gilded Age, Joanna Shupe’s first book in her Four Hundred series features an English beauty with a wicked scheme to win the man she loves-and the American scoundrel who ruins her best laid plans… But please don't worry, you still have more than 500,000 other books you can enjoy!
