Dukes, Actually

A heartwarming fake-flirtation Regency romance, featuring a socially awkward duke who needs lessons in charm, an incorrigible hoyden who volunteers for the job, and feelings neither of them can pretend away.

The Duke of Azureford isn't the arrogant, aloof lord his peers perceive him to be. Yes, he's awkward, but he has a plan to fix it. In order to woo a respectable lady, he must learn how to flirt. The completely inappropriate girl next door would make a perfect instructor, but a terrible duchess. So why can't he walk away?
Incorrigible hoyden Miss Carole Quincy likes billiards, fast carriages, and the beautiful, buttoned-up Duke of Azureford. She'd be delighted to help him out of his shell and into her arms. Who cares if they're just pretending to flirt? The heady, breath-taking, soul-consuming feeling inside her runaway heart surely can't be love...

Charming and quietly swoony with a delightful comedic edge, Dukes, Actually is Regency Christmas romance for readers who love an awkward hero worth rooting for - and a heroine who knew exactly what she wanted long before he did.
