The Duke was No Fluke
(2027)(The sixth book in the Courting Kisses and Chaos series)
A novel by Amanda Mariel
A duke who likes everything in order. A lady who delights in upsetting it. What could possibly go wrong?
Philip Mercer, Duke of Ivywood, has a problem. His upcoming charity gala must be a flawless success, and the last thing he needs is Lady Sophia Peregrine interfering with his carefully arranged plans. Unfortunately, the clever, mischievous beauty has a talent for turning respectable occasions into delightful chaos. Even more unfortunately, her outrageous ideas might be exactly what he needs.
Lady Sophia Peregrine has never met a social convention she couldn't improve upon, preferably with a little mischief. When the infuriatingly proper Duke of Ivywood dismisses her suggestions for his charity gala, she makes it her mission to prove that a woman's cleverness is worth far more than her ability to sit prettily and smile. Working alongside the handsome, maddening duke is simply an added complication. One she finds increasingly difficult to resist.
Between dueling opinions, scandalous card games, and stolen moments that threaten to become kisses, Philip discovers that Sophia's chaos is dangerously appealing. But when a malicious accusation threatens the gala and Sophia's reputation, he'll have to decide whether preserving his ducal dignity is worth losing the one woman who makes him forget it.
She never intended to fall for a duke. He never planned to lose control. But sometimes the most unexpected love is no fluke at all.
