El duque y yo

Everyone seemed to be having fun at that dance that brought together the most select of London society. All except the two of them. Daphne, a beautiful young woman burdened by her mother, and Simon, the sullen new Duke of Hastings, had the same problem: the constant pressure to find a mate. When they met, they came up with the perfect plan: fake a commitment that would free them from further stress. But it would not be easy, since Daphne's brother, Simon's friend, is not easy to fool, and neither are the seasoned ladies of high society. Although what will really complicate things will be the appearance of an element that was not foreseen in this two-way game: love. Since she was introduced to society, Daphne hasn't had a moment of respite. Her fault lies with her mother, whom she adores, but who is obsessed with finding her a husband as soon as possible. The worst part is that reasonably desirable men are not interested, and those who are are tireless pests that she has to shake off ... even with blows. So she is delighted to accept the Duke of Hastings's idea of ??faking a courtship that drives off suitors. Although she may also have something to do with the fact that the young duke begins to be more and more seductive to her. Marked by a childhood filled with loneliness and resentment, Simon Basset, the new Duke of Hastings, wants nothing to do with the social life of London and, of course, the attempts of the elegant ladies to "hunt down" him as husband for their daughters . When he meets Daphne, he thinks he has found the perfect plan: a fictitious engagement that keeps the suitors who weigh him down. And when the fake attraction begins to become too real, Simon must confront the ghosts of the past that prevent him from enjoying the happiness that fate puts at his fingertips.
