Anything But a Duke

By Christy Carlyle
Anything But a Duke by Christy Carlyle digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

Self-made man Aidan Iverson has seen more closed doors in his thirty years than he’s ever cared to count. As a member of the elite Duke’s Den, he has all the money he could possibly need but the one thing he can’t purchase is true power. If roguish Aidan can’t buy his way into society’s hallowed halls, he’ll resort to a more extreme measure: marriage.

Brought up to be a proper lady, the only thing Diana Ashby desires is to be left alone to the creation of her own devices. But when her dreams are crushed, she must find another way to secure the future of her invention. Knowing his desire to enter her world, Diana strikes a deal to arrange Aidan’s marriage to the perfect lady—as long as that lady isn’t her. She doesn’t need any distractions from her work, particularly of the sinfully handsome variety.

As Diana and Aidan set out to find him an aristocratic match, neither are prepared for the passion that ignites between them or the love they can’t ignore.

In the Duke’s Den, can happiness ever be a winning prospect?

Anything But a Duke Reviews

3.5
Beaming Face with Smiling Eyes“This one breaks my 5 stars streak for her but I’ll admit I was distracted reading this so upon a reread it could change. Diana needs someone to invest in her invention. Aiden happens to be apart of a group of men looking to invest in people and their creations. Also they had a run in a year prior and haven’t been able to shake the other from their mind. I did enjoy them together, thought they had good chemistry. It was the plot outside of the romance that lost me and idk if I was invested. Diana has till the end of the month to get someone to invest in her before she’s agreed to give it up and marry. And Aiden is on the search for what happened to his mother and looking for his sister. He also has a goal of marrying into nobility so he can have good standing to go with the money he’s made for himself but once he sees Diana again he basically throws that out the window.”
