When the Duke Comes to Play... (Curves & Cravats #8)
Kelsey Swanson

Lady Ariel Tilbury has spent nearly thirty years chipping away at herself to fit into Society’s mold for a young woman; in return, she has been branded a spinster doomed to remain untouched and unloved. In rebellion, she hires a male courtesan as a birthday gift to herself. She never believed it would go beyond a few hours of ecstasy.
He is just the man for the job…
Businessman Charles Burke had no hopes above a simple, comfortable life in Boston. The last things he ever expected would happen to him were (in no particular order):
1) Becoming guardian to a rotund black cat
2) Traveling to England after unexpectedly becoming the new Duke of Ryton
3) Being mistaken for a prostitute after arriving on the doorstep of the Earl of Darby
4) Falling for an intelligent, confident, curvaceous beauty with rose-gold hair
One night of passion is just the beginning.
Ariel was never supposed to discover his true identity. Charles only intended to handle the necessary paperwork and return to America. Neither anticipated an evening together could lead to so much more.
