Summary

In the spirit of Georgette Heyer, this delightful Regency romp offers a humorous and heartwarming tale… The whole series was freaking adorable and fun. —Shari, the Delighted Reader
 
Phillip has a duty to marry Francesca. He has always protected his former neighbor and childhood companion, and now that she is of marriageable age, he will give her what she needs most—a real home where she is welcome and wanted.
 
Unfortunately for him... she is finished with being dutiful. After years of being an obedient daughter to a hateful father, Francesca jumps into her first Season. Francesca is ready to dance every dance, flirt with every bachelor, and snatch what she wants most—a man she loves who will make her swoon.
 
Unfortunately for her... he now sees making her swoon as his duty, too. And Phillip takes his duties very seriously.
