Once Upon a Duke's Dream

He's set on revenge. She's desperate for freedom. When their paths cross, nothing will ever be the same again. Bradley Hainsworth, Duke of Carrington, has no time for the ton or their games, let alone finding a wife. He is far too consumed with revenge and clearing his best friend's name. All roads lead to one Gerard Durand, and Bradley will bring the man responsible to justice, through whatever method is necessary. He just never expected an investigation through Gerard's alluring stepsister could cause him to question all he knew to be true. Isabella Marriott knows far too well the depths that her stepbrother Gerard will sink to in order to get his hands on what he wants. Her plan to escape includes secretly finding her grandmother's long-lost diary which will lead her to the family jewels -- and the road to freedom. Bradley is captivated by the beautiful Isabella, though he isn't sure if he can trust the stepsister of the man he suspects. When they find the truths they are searching for, will they determine their feelings for one another are real, or simply a means to their own ends?
