"Hugo Wilde, the Duke of Lindow, has a drafty castle, eight naughty children - and no wife. Ophelia, Lady Astley, has a fine house, one well-behaved daughter - and no husband. Hugo takes one look at Ophelia and loses his heart, but she doesn't want more children or a castle. She takes one look at him and heads for her carriage. Desperate to find a duchess, Hugo identifies an appropriate lady to woo. Yet when he meets Ophelia again, the duke realizes that he will marry her, or no one."--Publisher.

Review by Booklist Review

Having finally been granted a divorce from his horribly unsuitable second wife, Hugo, the duke of Lindow, is now in the market for a new duchess. Hugo hopes to find someone with strong maternal instincts, like the widowed Ophelia "Phee" Astley, who can help Hugo with his eight children. However, much to Hugo's surprise, Phee rebuffs his initial attempt to put a ring on her finger. As a duke, Hugo is used to getting what he wants, which means when it comes to sealing the matrimonial deal with Phee, he is going to have to figure out exactly what he needs to do to get the lady to say yes. Best-selling RITA award-winner James proves once again why she is the romance genre's primary purveyor of deftly written, delectably witty, and delightfully sexy love stories as she gifts readers with a prequel to her wildly popular The Wildes of Lindow Castle series. If this isn't enough to entice readers, James' novella, "Storming the Castle," is included as an enchanting literary bonus.
