A wallflower… fit for a duke?

Rosemary Crofton has always dreamed of marrying a dashing duke…just like her best friend’s brother, Michael Knight!

But as Rosemary’s stepmother always reminds her, someone so clumsy, plain, and unrefined could never hope for such a future.

Yet when enigmatic Michael needs Rosemary’s help protecting his sister, she’s suddenly facing a season on His Grace’s arm! As she’s whisked between the ton’s most fashionable addresses—including London Zoo!—she begins to feel that someone like her could belong in Michael’s world.

Will Rosemary write her own fairy-tale ending and claim her Knight in shining armor after all?

Titles in the Brides for Sworn Bachelors series include:  Daring to Dream of the Duke (ARC) ~ Resisting the Roguish Captain ~

This is a no-spice romance, perhaps with closed-door or fade-to-black scenes. Tension and kisses might be involved.
