    Summary

    "I know I don't possess any allure for you." Her voice came out fragile, but firm. "I'm not the diamond of the first water—my goodness, this is my sixth season! I don't have a respectable lineage, and I was self-taught because we couldn't afford tutors for anything other than embroidery. I don't even have a dowry, and Your Grace must imagine why." She took a deep breath, her chin wavering. "And I know I'm not the kind of beauty you seek... or what you might want to have me as a duchess. But if you accept my hand out of mercy for my misery, I promise to be the best duchess, and the best wife, I can be for you."

    Ms. Chase, the daughter of a bankrupt barons, was quite resigned to her five seasons of failure, which hadn't resulted in even a single flirtation, much less an advantageous marriage that would save her family.

    That is, at least, until the arrival of the Duke of Thesford, Perseus, the one responsible for ruining her life and of her family for so many years, resulting in the situation she found herself in for so many social seasons.

    Summary

    “Would you help me?” she asked.

    “What?” The tea cup nearly slipped from his grasp.

    “I think I just need some help to…make things interesting–for the story, I mean.”

    “Oh…um…of course, I’d love to help you, Pen,” he said quietly before adding, “but, I’m not sure how?” His massive frame shrunk, shy and hesitant – a stark contrast to the typically poised, confident Colin Bridgerton she knew.

    “Well, I think the biggest challenge is going to be…positioning. My characters have a height difference, kind of like you and me.” She could feel her cheeks flush at her admission, but she bravely continued. “If we could just…simulate various positions–clothes on and everything…that might help?”
