The Duke Who Proposed by Accident - A Witty Regency Romance That Spiraled Hilariously Out of Control #1011031

One careless sentence.
One horrified duke.
One very determined woman.
And suddenly, all of London believes they are engaged.
Lord Julian Ashford, Duke of Bellamy, has spent years avoiding marriage, matchmaking mamas, and every ambitious debutante in London. His carefully organized life is working perfectly—until a single conversation at the Marigold Assembly Rooms goes spectacularly wrong.
In an attempt to escape an irritating conversation, Julian makes what he believes is an offhand remark.
Unfortunately, Miss Clara Whitmore hears it.
More unfortunately, she accepts.
Within twenty-four hours, London society is celebrating the duke's engagement to the one woman who seems determined to make him regret every word he has ever spoken.
Clara has no intention of becoming a lovesick duchess. Julian has no intention of falling for a woman who challenges him at every opportunity.
So naturally, they begin falling for each other.
Between meddling relatives, vicious gossip, an inconveniently charming rival, disastrous country-house parties, and a growing attraction neither of them can explain, their accidental engagement becomes increasingly difficult to escape.
What begins as the greatest social blunder of the season may turn out to be the greatest mistake Julian ever made—
because sometimes the most ridiculous proposal leads to the most unexpected love story.
