The Duke's Absolutely Saucy Spinster (The Notorious Briarwoods #21)

The Duke of Roseford is brash, intense, and has not stepped onto English soil since he was a boy. Now, he has returned, ready to turn the ton on its head. When he meets the indefatigable Miss Celia Briarwood he is shocked to find he cannot get her out of his thoughts. An English lady of the ton who doesn’t care about marriage and titles? Impossible! But her blunt, cheeky ways warm his suspicious heart, and soon he hopes to make her his. For in a sea of ladies who wish to marry him for his dukedom, only Celia will do.

Miss Celia Briarwood has never had to choose between her family and her dreams, or duty over desire. With the blessings of all the Briarwoods, Celia has dedicated her life to the students at her father’s Shakespeare school in the East End. Marriage has never been part of her plan. There are more important things requiring her attention. But the Duke of Roseford is impossible to ignore and sets her heart ablaze. After years on the shelf by her own choice, can this dangerously handsome duke tempt her into marriage? Or are they both destined for disappointment?
