A duke In sudden need of a duchess!

A Soldiers to Heirs story: When Lieutenant Hartley returns home it’s to become—reluctantly, he might add—the new Duke of Fenniston. If he’s to thrive in the ton, he must call on the help of widow Claire Hambledon, sister of the previous Duchess, to guide him in Society and help him to find a wife!

Penniless, and with a young son, Claire is well aware that she’s totally unsuitable for a duke. But she’s also completely unable to ignore the ripples of desire she feels every time she’s near dashing Hart… Or the temptation to start a forbidden affair!
