About this eBook

"A beautifully written love story with utterly perfect imperfections." ~ Bree Wolf, USA Today bestselling author


To save her family, bluestocking Lady Tabitha must marry well. Can she convince the Duke of Collingford — her opposite in every way — that she will make the perfect duchess? A fun Regency romance by a USA Today bestselling author!

A redheaded bluestocking in desperate need of a wealthy husband.

A handsome duke looking for his perfect duchess.

And a dare that shows that opposites may not only attract but can be so much more.

Lady Tabitha Hampton has the memory of an elephant. Her sharp brain locks everything away tight as a trunk in an attic. But this talent fails to help the twenty-seven-year-old bluestocking attract the attention of a single wealthy suitor. And she needs one. With three sisters of marriageable age, a sickly father, and a series of bad investments that left them impoverished, Tabitha’s marriage could save or ruin her entire family.

Arthur, the Duke of Collingford needs a wife but not just any lady will do. Arthur’s future duchess must be perfect in every way—fair of face, impeccable manners, with enough social influence to impact his parliamentary projects. When he joins the whirl of the London season, the duke finds an insufferable, redheaded wallflower instead.

Tabitha insists she can be the perfect duchess, if he’ll only give her the chance. Arthur agrees to test her abilities, but she tests his control. And one taste of her lips is enough to make him question everything.

Opposites may attract, but can they cooperate? Or will they lose everything, including their hearts?


In this Regency Romance by USA Today bestselling author Charlie Lane, a London season of scandalous dares forces a lady and her duke to see that perfect isn’t as perfect as it seems.

Loved it! This story had everything I love in a historical romance. The characters were funny and complicated...and it made sense! I appreciate the author for not pitting them against each other. Just when I thought they would hold back with each other and keep secrets, the author had them move closer together. It is so refreshing when an author doesn't make ridiculous secrets keep the characters at odds instead of having the characters work together to figure things out. I was truly invested in their love story. It was just fun to read. Their banter kept me turning the pages. From beginning to end, this story didn't disappoint. I am looking forward to reading the rest of the series. Top notch regency!
