Lily and the Duke is the first book in the new Regency romance series, Regency Spinsters Alliance, by USA Today and International #1 Bestselling Author, Carole Mortimer.

Lily, and five of her friends all suffered through the previous London Season together. One thing they are now all agreed upon, as they are forced to attend a second Season, is that the gentlemen of the ton are invariably arrogant, conceited, and far too full of themselves and their own comfort to be in the least attentive to even the basic needs of a wife.

As such, these six young ladies have formed an alliance, one in which they have agreed none of them will ever marry.

Accepting a dare from the arrogantly superior Gabriel Lord, the Duke of St Albans, in which he challenges Lily’s decision by questioning her ability to resist his seduction, is the very last thing Lily should do. Most especially when the duke also declares that the victor shall choose their prize, when the time comes.

Because Gabriel Lord has never lost a wager or a dare in his life.

Gabriel knows, the moment he sets eyes on Lady Lily Tremayne, that she is meant to be his. But not only is she eighteen years his junior, but he also learns Lily is determined she will never succumb to feeling love or desire for any gentleman in Society.

A battle of wills is about to commence!
