The first book in an exciting steamy regency romance series awaits...

May Carr stopped dreaming of her future long ago, content with her position as a lady's maid to her closest friend. For ladies like her, it's as good as it's ever going to get. But when one of England's richest Dukes mistakes her for a lady at a masquerade, he offers her the deal of a lifetime: pretend to be his rich cousin for a month to test the intentions of his sister's suitor and earn an unfathomable sum, big enough for May to restore her mother’s only remaining heirloom into her possession. Except, every time she's near the Duke, she seems to forget she is to be his cousin or that she is to tempt another man. May Carr cannot keep handsome Elias out of her head and out of her heart. As Elias' tantalizing proximity cracks her carefully curated facade and lights her body on fire, the entire ruse is in danger. And if the Duke discovers that she was an impostor all along, she will not only lose her future but the sort of true love she never dared to dream of.

Elias Abigner, Duke of Southam is used to ladies pursuing him for his riches. But when a backwater member of the gentry wins the hand of his beloved sister, he knows he must make sure the match is true, for he won't let her fall for a ruse as he once did. Lady May is perfect for the job: recommended by a friend, charmingly witty and irresistibly beautiful, she is the one woman who could prove the truth of the pretender's affections. So why does she keep disturbing Elias' carefully guarded peace with her presence? Every time she's near, he cannot think of anything else but making her his. The month is short and their mounting passion threatens his safe and calculated existence. Elias can no longer stand to part with his beautiful accomplice. But dare he love a woman who would seduce another for money? And can he live with himself if he lets her go?
