About this book
Lady Gemma Lively is a former darling of London’s high society, but her world shatters when her father’s death leaves her and her family destitute. Their only remaining asset is a run-down coaching inn, forcing Gemma to trade her glamorous gowns for a desperate mission: securing a wealthy husband to save her family from ruin. Her plans are immediately disrupted by the local barkeep, Hal Deveril, a man who is as insufferable as he is dangerously attractive. Hal is no ordinary tavern worker; he is a struggling Duke hiding behind the bar to escape the crushing weight of his impoverished estate and the demands of his title. Convinced that Gemma is nothing more than a shallow fortune hunter, he keeps his identity secret while trying to ignore her ambitious schemes. However, their mutual animosity quickly gives way to a fiery, undeniable attraction that neither can suppress. Utilizing the classic enemies-to-lovers trope, this story follows the tension between Gemma’s need for security and Hal’s desire to keep his noble status under wraps. As their secret kisses and sizzling arguments deepen into something more, the looming shadow of his deception threatens to shatter the fragile trust they have built, leaving them to wonder if love can survive the truth.

See all formats and editions A LADY FORTUNE HUNTER Lady Gemma Lively’s life as the darling of London’s fast set was carefree and fun, filled with exciting friends, daring fashions, and scandalous parties. But when the death of her father leaves her family with nothing but a dilapidated coaching inn at the end of the Earth, it’s up to Gemma to change their fate. She needs a rich husband immediately—but the only bachelor in sight is a devilishly distracting barkeep who doesn’t know the peerage from a pint glass. A DUKE IN DISGUISE When Hal Deveril meets the new owners of Five Mile House, he sees right away that they’re Trouble. The eldest Lively sister is an unabashed fortune hunter, so Hal hides his true identity in the first place he can find—behind the bar of his local pub. He doesn’t have time for Gemma’s wild scheme to entice eligible gentlemen to the inn and seduce one into marriage—he’s too busy trying to rebuild his crumbling estate. AN IMPOSSIBLE MATCH Except Hal can’t seem to resist seducing Gemma himself. Every sizzling argument, every tempting touch, every secret kiss draws them closer together, but while he might not be the barkeep she thinks he is, he’s also not the wealthy Duke she’s hoping for….even if he wants to give her everything he has, including his heart. ) ©2024 Louisa Darling (P)2024 Louisa Darling Previous slide of product details 1.
