Refusing the Duke's Betrothal (Chasing Love Series)

Anticipating the duke's announcement of their betrothal, Eliza steels herself for defeat, only to discover that her father is giving her a choice. Spend a month getting to know the duke, and if, at the end of that time, she doesn't care for him, she can move on. Eliza takes this to heart, deciding that she will prove to the duke himself that they aren't compatible, especially not after the decisions the duke's father made in the last year of his life.

Edward thought he had her, until her father added a stipulation to his proposal. Eliza had to approve. While unconventional, Edward decided he could handle it. Eliza was exactly what he was looking for in a wife and a partner, now he had to prove to her that he was right before the Duke of Kensington got his hands on her.
