Working as a seamstress, Prudence Bosworth is focused on her career.  Accustomed to working long hours just to survive in London, Prudence is overwhelmed to learn she has inherited a fortune from a father she’s never met.  In order to fulfill the conditions of the will, Prudence must be married within a year to a man approved by the estate’s trustees.  Suddenly Prudence finds herself enjoying the whirl of the ton and being courted by none other than the most wicked, Rhys De Winter, Duke of St. Cyres.

Prudence sees the duke as a chivalrous, dashing gentleman.  But Rhys is not what he appears. When his deception is revealed, will Rhys do what it takes in order to win back Prudence’s heart?

Laura Lee Guhrke is a fantabulous author.  I adore the Girl-Bachelors Chronicles, and The Wicked Ways of a Duke is sinfully luscious.  Although Rhys is wicked, he appeals to my good-girl-wanna-be-bad heart.  His redemption made me writhe with pleasure.  If you adore reformed rakes and fairy tale, rags-to-riches heroines, I highly recommend Laura Lee Guhrke’s The Wicked Ways of a Duke.
