âAn abundance of sharp wit andâŠromantic chemistry.â âBooklist on Last Duke Standing
Daring. Darling. Determined.
Next to the Seasonâs newest diamond, Harriet (Hattie) Woodchurch feels like a plain Jane. But thatâs of no consequence, since Hattieâs plan for her future is to earn enough to live far, far away from her embarrassing family.
That is until Mateo Vincente, Duke of Santiava and newly minted Viscount Abbott, arrives in London. While the shy Europeanâs spoken English is impeccable, his writing is less fluent. The ton is eager to meet the handsome bachelor, and so many invitations flood in that Mateo needs a correspondence secretary.
With her perfect penmanship and way with words, Hattie is recommended, and the two bond over books and the tonâs eligible ladies. But when Hattieâs friend Flora becomes smitten with the viscount, things get complicated. Flora is tongue-tied in his presence. To help, Hattie feeds her information about Mateoâs interests. Soon things turn around and Flora appears on track to become his duchess. Yet for Mateo, somethingâs not quite right. Conversation with Flora isnât as scintillating as it is with HattieâŠ
