About the book
As the daughter of a bohemian artist Amelia Allen is aware that their family’s finances are insecure. She is consequently elated to learn that she has inherited a small estate from the family of her late mother. But this good fortune seems almost too good to be true when she finds out that the devilish Duke of Winston is to be her trustee. Although she finds herself drawn to him, she wishes he could recover from the misapprehension that she would be happy to become his mistress.
