Miss Helen Cosgrove only wants a quiet life, instead she falls for the Duke of Roxboro…or does she?
Helen has spent her life invisible. As a lady’s companion to the spoiled daughter of a marquess, she exists in the margins of polite society—neither servant nor equal, wanted by no one and belonging nowhere. She asks for nothing more than to survive one final Season, collect her promised wages, and disappear into a quiet life of her own choosing.
But when the notorious Duke of Roxboro appears in a darkened alcove at a ball, Helen’s carefully ordered world begins to unravel.
Fletcher Bean grew up in The Devil’s Acre; a place he’ll do anything to escape. Resembling a duke, even Roxboro, is profitable. Bracelets, necklaces, earbobs, stickpins…they all find their way into Fletcher’s pocket. No one ever questions him or rather, Roxboro, until he meets a sharp-tongued, perceptive lady’s companion and chaperone.
The attraction between them is immediate, passionate and doomed from the start. Miss Cosgrove believes Fletcher to be only an unrepentant libertine. A sot. A debauched duke.
But the truth is far worse.
Anything But a Lord is a story of forbidden attraction, mistaken identity and a dark secret that will finally come to light.
