There is only one option now, marry for money and do it soon. An opportunity presents itself when a rich American woman arrives in Society hunting for a title in trade for a huge dowry.

Helena Monroe is the companion to her entitled cousin and she is miserable. But once she encounters Baldwin on a terrace, her time in England starts to look up. She quickly realizes he believes she is her cousin and everything starts to fall apart.

Reviews for The Duke of Nothing

[UchennaEzeh · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

I did not really look forward to this story as I already sensed that Baldwin was real stubborn. What I did not expect was that he was also a pansy, cowardly user of a man. He treated Helena really badly in my opinion. He did not deserve her but still she loved him and so love won out. So far, he is my least favorite Duke but they cannot all be heros. Not a bad book at all even though I was annoyed at some of the parts. That shows the author did good to get a rise out of the reader.

It was a good book with a good story line. I quite enjoyed it well worth a read
