Miss Delancey’s Tragicomedy

Miss Ophelia Delancey, a beautiful American heiress, has not come to London to snare a titled husband. Yet within a fortnight, she finds herself alone, unchaperoned, at a bachelor duke’s home for a musicale—on the wrong night. For Ophelia, it is one more gaffe in a mortifying line of stumbles and misfortunes, but this scandalous mistake could be ruinous. Her only hope is to rely on the duke’s honor. And his sense of humor.

The product of six generations of spotless respectability, Robin Wormsley, the seventh Duke of Trentham, has broken the family’s streak. A youthful indiscretion ballooned into a disgrace he is still trying to live down. But he has a plan. A marriage of convenience to the bluestocking daughter of an impoverished marquess. At least, that was his plan. Until the delightfully gauche Miss Delancey bumbles into his life. She brings out all his best—and worst—impulses.
