The Improper Duchess. A Modern Comedy in Three Acts
July Production 1946 Season.
Vivianne Chevalier is done with dukes. After another broken promise for a starring role on the Paris stage, the dancer and courtesan vows to walk away from it all. The viperous competition from the other dancers. The manipulations of the European nobility who only care for their own pleasures. Greedy, heartless people who want nothing more than to get ahead, no matter the cost to others. After years of failure, she craves a simple life, like the one she foolishly turned her back on when she was young. His Grace Arley West is familiar with the traps and trappings of a dukedom. After all, he was not even six when he became the Duke of Osborne. The constant demands, requests for favours, false friends wanting money, and never really being sure if people respect him, or his title, all are a regular part of his life. Is it any wonder he has become a grumpy recluse, only leaving his villa to attend to his parliamentary duties? That is, until he finds himself travelling to Paris incognito on a research trip for Spencer and Co Travel. Disguised as a clerk, he meets the vibrant and beautiful Vivianne, and for the first time in his life, he feels as if someone might truly love him for himself. A whirlwind romance and a proposal follow, and Arley takes his dancer fiancé back to London. He can't wait to tell her who he really is. She is going to be so surprised. After all, doesn't every woman want to be a duchess? A Most Improper Duchess is the second book in the Tales from Honeysuckle Street series. All books in the series are standalone reads.

Secret salons and forbidden tendres. The Season promises to be scandalous. After their parents' deaths, the three Grace sisters must leave their family home for their first season in London. But how will Alexandra, the eldest Miss Grace, fare in the ton's infamous marriage mart? She's determined to marry for love. If only she could find a husband like her childhood friend, Niall, Duke of Blackburn, but with added passion. Caught up in Society's whirlwind, Alexandra soon realizes eligible gentlemen may want to make suitable matches, but once wed, their true desires will be reserved for their mistresses. Enlisting her sisters' support, she sets up secret salons with trusted female acquaintances at which they can discuss the conundrum of men's true nature versus finding a happy marriage. However, the salons raise more questions than answers, and realizing she will only gain the knowledge the ladies seek by talking with a man, Alexandra approaches Niall. But discussing matters of an intimate nature proves very different from talking about art and architecture, and the friendship Alexandra has always felt rapidly turns into something more. Can she really be falling for her very proper childhood friend? Niall takes his role in life seriously. He's a proper fellow, decided in his ways to stand up for those unable to protect themselves. That's what dukes do-sustain traditions and serve with dignity. When an old friend from Eton asks Niall to watch over his three sisters, how can he refuse? If anyone can assist ladies in their entrance to Society, it's a duke. Strict and timely, practiced, and nuanced, Niall knows just what it takes to master the ins and outs of civilization. But sometimes the most proper thing to do is give in. The Three Graces A Most Improper Duchess Never Judge a Beast by His Cover Blame it on Lord Raine
