The Duchess and the Duelist (Friendship #4)
Julia Donner

for a decade by becoming a dresser to Lady Asterly, who
foils the successful ploy by insisting Evangeline take the role
of companion. Unable to refuse the generosity of her patroness,
Evangeline is thrust back into society. No one recognizes
her but she ignites the interest of the last unmarried of the Four
Eligibles, the Honorable Alfred Bates, heir to Viscount Grieves.
Famed duelist known as Arm-Winger Freddy, Bates finds himself
obsessed with Lady Asterly’s mysterious companion. Something
about Evangeline’s strength beneath the delicate shell haunts
his thoughts. He has no right to pursue her when he’s affianced
to another but the more she retreats, the more he must have her
no matter what the cost.
