Duchess Material

About the book

When her student disappears, a non-traditional bluestocking seeks assistance from the arrogant duke who once rejected her in this steamy romantic story filled with "charming dialogue, subtle intrigue, and numerous romantic moments" - perfect for fans of Bridgerton on Netflix (Publishers Weekly).

Phoebe Atkinson is far from conventional by society's standards. Instead of pursuing a wealthy marriage like other women of her social standing, she has embraced a career as a teacher. She resides in a rundown flat in an unpopular neighborhood rather than living in her family's grand estate. However, when her most talented student vanishes, Phoebe has no choice but to ask for help from her sister's close friend, the influential Duke of Ellis.

William Margrave never anticipated inheriting a dukedom, but now that he holds the title, he is determined to fulfill his duties flawlessly - which includes finding a suitable duchess. A free-spirited schoolteacher like Phoebe is certainly not suitable duchess material in his eyes. Nevertheless, he cannot ignore her plea for assistance in locating her missing student.

As they delve deeper into the investigation, William realizes that his childhood infatuation with Phoebe has never truly faded - and he doesn't want it to.
