Charming a Scoundrel
Description
Armed with an enchanted gypsy necklace guaranteed to win the heart of a duke, Miss Valera Bell is prepared to shed her wallflower status and take charge of her destiny. But when an orchestrated run-in with the most sought-after bachelor duke in London ends with Valera flat on her bum with barely a glance from the man, her confidence in magic is rattled. Hope is restored when her best friend's dashing brother Alex Barnaby, Earl of Ravenswood, asks her to dance, and suddenly the duke's interest is piqued. Valera might have found something even more valuable than gypsy magic to bring the duke up to scratch: a little healthy competition. But can she form an alliance with the charming scoundrel, Lord Ravenswood, without risking her reputation and her heart?
