Desperately Seeking A Duke (The Heiress Brides, 1) - Softcover

The first novel in a brand-new series about three young women looking for love―and upward mobility―from USA Today bestselling author Celeste Bradley

ONLY A DUKE WILL DO.

The only way for vicar's daughter Phoebe Millbury to inherit a family fortune is to find herself a duke―just as her late grandfather demanded in his will. But Phoebe, who's still trying to make good after a romantic scandal, also has her two cousins to contend with. They're all competing for the same money, maybe even the same men. ..until Phoebe meets her match in the terribly handsome and charming Rafe Marbrook.

BUT WILL IT BE "I DO"―OR ADIEU?

When she receives a marriage proposal from the Marquis of Brookhaven, Phoebe is thrilled to learn that Rafe is headed for dukedom...and accepts his offer. There's only one problem: It's from Rafe's older, less captivating brother, Calder. Now Phoebe finds herself on the verge of yet another scandal as she faces a desperate choice: Marry Calder for his money―or follow her own heart? Each way can only lead to trouble...
