Coral de Petras is on the hunt for the perfect husband, and she doesn't care who knows it.
In her third Season and with the shock of her father's shipping business collapsing in disaster, Coral makes the hard decision to forgo a love match and fall back on the plan she had as a child.
Marry for money.
But if Coral's giving up a love match, she doesn't just want to settle for any gentleman: she has a list. A list of all the qualities she will demand from her future husband-and publishes it in all the newspapers.
A chance introduction with a duke (sadly not fulfilling all the points on her list) throws her completely off balance. Her dowry is gone, but doesn't that mean she should demand the absolute best?
The Duke of Glaenarm is handsome, charming, devilishly devoted to her. And imperfect. Damn. At least, that is what Edward Barlow, Duke of Glaenarm, is informed by Coral at Almack's.
Amused by the fiery haired beauty who demands a husband who meets her lofty and unrealistic expectations, Edward decides to trick her into affection for him-proving that even if she believes him imperfect, she can fall in love.
But the more time they spend discussing her potential suitors, neither Coral nor Edward can control the desire pulling them together-and as the de Petras family's outrageous behavior continues to threaten their respectability, it's becoming more and more difficult for Coral to understand what she wants from life.
A respectable, boring, wealthy suitor who completes her list...or an imperfect duke that makes her feel alive?
This full-length novel is a steamy Regency romance with a happily ever after, no cliffhangers, and is part of a series that can be read in any order, but is best enjoyed in sequence.
