About THE HEIRESS GETS A DUKE by Harper St. George (Berkley; January 26, 2021)
Even
a fortune forged in railroads and steel can't buy entrance into the
upper echelons of Victorian high society—for that you need a marriage of
convenience.
American
heiress August Crenshaw has aspirations. But unlike her peers, it isn't
some stuffy British Lord she wants wrapped around her finger—it's
Crenshaw Steel, the family business. When
it's clear that August's outrageously progressive ways render her
unsuitable for a respectable match, her parents offer up her younger
sister to the highest entitled bidder instead. This simply will not do.
August refuses to leave her sister to the mercy of
a loveless marriage.
Evan Sterling, the Duke of Rothschild, has no intention of walking away
from the marriage. He's recently inherited the title only to find his
coffers empty, and with countless lives depending on him, he can't walk
away from the fortune a Crenshaw heiress would
bring him. But after meeting her fiery sister, he realizes Violet isn't
the heiress he wants. He wants August, and he always gets what he
wants.
But August won't go peacefully to her fate. She decides to show
Rothschild that she's no typical London wallflower. Little does she
realize that every stunt she pulls to make him call off the wedding only
makes him like her even more.
