A duke in shining armor

Loretta Chase

Difficult dukes, 1

Hugh Philemon Ancaster, seventh Duke of Ripley, will never win prizes for virtue, but even he draws the line at running off with his best friend's bride. All he's trying to do is recapture the slightly inebriated Lady Olympia Hightower and return her to her intended bridegroom. For reasons that elude the bookish, bespectacled Olympia, she is supposed to marry a gorgeous rake of a duke. The ton is flabbergasted. Her family's ecstatic. And Olympia? She's climbing out of a window, bent on a getaway. But tall, dark, and exasperating Ripley is hot on her trail, determined to bring her back to his friend. For once, the world-famous hellion is trying to do the honorable thing, so why does Olympia have to make it so deliciously difficult for him?
