A runaway heiress. A mischievous lord. One unforgettable masquerade.
Half-Indian, orphaned, and forgotten by the man who was meant to protect her, Penelope Reid is through with waiting. Disguised as a boy, she sets off for London to track down her guardian—the man she's secretly loved since childhood.
But the city is no place for a girl alone, especially one playing at being a gentleman. Lost in a world of duels, dice, and danger, Pen crashes—literally—into Lord Archibald Alworth, a devilishly handsome dandy with a keen eye and a wicked sense of humor.
Archie can't resist the challenge of taking young "Pen" under his wing. Teaching him the ropes of Regency bachelorhood is amusing—until Archie realizes his protégée is not who she seems. When the truth emerges, so do feelings Archie never expected... and Pen never wanted.
Just as Pen begins to question everything—her past, her future, even her own heart—a mysterious sponsor offers her a fresh chance at happiness: a London Season, with one catch. She must give up her disguise and step fully into the role of a lady. But can she reclaim the parts of herself she's hidden for so long... and still hold on to the love she's only just begun to find?
Romantic, witty, and full of heart, Penelope and the Wicked Duke is a sweet Regency romp about identity, loyalty, and love in the most unexpected places.
A standalone romance in the bestselling Wishing Well series.
