  Lucas Alexander, the ninth Duke of Arlington, is a man who gets what he wants.
  So when he sees the alluring Miss Pippa Welby from across a crowded ballroom,
  he vows to make her his. But the bold and spirited Pippa has sworn never to
  marry into the haute ton. Now Lucas must win her the only way he knows how—one
  wicked kiss at a time.
  
  The daughter of a wealthy tradesman, Pippa has been sneered at by the upper
  echelons her entire life. So when the duke arrives on her doorstep with an
  invitation to her own engagement ball—to him—in ten days, Pippa hatches a
  daring plan. She must lose the duke before the ball, or risk losing her own
  heart.
