內容簡介

Amelia Willoughby has been engaged to the Duke of Wyndham for as long as she can remember. Literally. A mere six months old when the contracts were signed, she has spent the rest of her life waiting. And waiting. And waiting . . . for Thomas Cavendish, the oh-so-lofty duke, tofinallyget around to marrying her. But as she watches him from afar, she has a sneaking suspicion that he never thinks about her at all . . .

It`s true. He doesn`t. Thomas rather likeshavinga fiancEe—all the better to keep the husband-hunters at bay—and hedoesintend to marry her . . . eventually. But just when he begins to realize that his bride might be something more than convenient, Thomas`s world is rocked by the arrival of his long-lost cousin, who may or may not be the true Duke of Wyndham. And if Thomas is not the duke, then he`s not engaged to Amelia. Which is the cruelest joke of all, because this arrogant and illustrious duke has made the mistake of falling in love . . . with his own fiancEe!
