May the best gentleman win...
A debutante?
Wealthy rail baron Thomas Hayward needs a duke's land to expand his empire, but the oaf insists on a ridiculous wager: they'll both woo debutante Miss Grace Lowerby, and if she chooses the duke—which she surely will—Thomas gets the land at a cheaper price. He can't lose...
To save her family, Grace must marry the duke. And yet in dashing Thomas she's found a man she can finally be herself with. But focusing on her goal is paramount...until she discovers the wager and—annoyingly!—that it's Thomas she's falling for!
From Harlequin Historical: Your romantic escape to the past.

Grace Lowerby's love of fairy tales sparked her infatuation with the Duke of Hardgraves. That, plus her grandmother's frequent reminders that her mother scandalously married below her station, have her certain that she simply must wed Hardgraves and live happily ever after. Thomas Hayward also wants something from the duke, though his designs are of the investment type. Knowing from their youth that Hardgraves is both petulant and near-penniless, Thomas is hardly surprised when the duke suggests a wooing wager for Grace's affection. VERDICT Shepherd (Falling for the Forbidden Duke) presents a steamy Victorian romance to start the new "Rakes, Rebels and Rogues" series.--Lauren Hackert
