From New York Times bestselling author Sabrina Jeffries comes a sparkling new series about an oft-widowed mother's grown children, who blaze through society in their quest for the truth about their fathers . . . and in the process find that love just might conquer all . . .
A series of stepfathers and a difficult childhood have left Fletcher "Grey" Pryde, 5th Duke of Greycourt, with a guarded heart, enviable wealth, and the undeserved reputation of a rogue. Grey's focus on expanding his dukedom allows him little time to find a wife. But when his mother is widowed yet again and he meets the charmingly unconventional woman managing his stepfather's funeral, he's shocked to discover how much they have in common. Still, Grey isn't interested in love, no matter how pretty, or delightfully outspoken, the lady . . .
Beatrice Wolfe gave up on romance long ago, and the arrogant Duke of Greycourt with his rakish reputation isn't exactly changing her mind. Then Grey agrees to assist his grief-stricken mother with her latest "project": schooling spirited, unfashionable Beatrice for her debut. Now that Beatrice is seeing through Grey's charms to his wounded heart, she's having trouble keeping him at arm's length. But once Grey starts digging into her family's secrets, she must decide whether her loyalties lie with her family . . . or with the man whose lessons capture her heart . . .
"Anyone who loves romance must read Sabrina Jeffries!"

Ein Duke zwischen der Suche nach der Wahrheit und dem Finden der großen Liebe
Das mitreißende Finale der Duke Dynasty-Reihe von Erfolgsautorin Sabrina Jeffries
Sheridan Wolfe, der Duke of Armitage, ist entschlossen, endlich Licht hinter das Geheimnis um die mysteriösen Tode der drei Ehemänner seiner Mutter zu bringen. Bei der Suche nach der Wahrheit kommt er Vanessa Pryde, der bezaubernden Tochter einer Verdächtigen, gefährlich nahe. Doch Sheridan, den immer noch der Schmerz einer tragischen vergangenen Liebe verfolgt, will um jeden Preis der Anziehungskraft widerstehen. Außerdem scheint Miss Pryde ohnehin in einen schurkischen Londoner Bühnenschriftsteller verliebt zu sein.
Vanessa Prydes Herz schlägt in Wahrheit nur für Sheridan und sie versucht ihn mit ihrem Flirt aus der Reserve zu locken, um seine geschäftsmäßige Fassade zu durchbrechen. Doch als Sheridans Eifersucht tatsächlich geweckt wird, finden sich die beiden bald in einem Schauspiel der anderen Art wieder, das eine vorgetäuschte Verlobung, eine geheime Untersuchung und die nicht ganz so geheime wahre Liebe beinhaltet …
