"Instead of marrying well like other women born to wealth, Phoebe Atkinson chose to be a schoolteacher. When her most promising pupil goes missing, she has only one option: beg her sister's best friend, the Duke of Ellis, for help. The last thing William Margrave expected was to inherit a dukedom. But now that he has it, he's determined to act the part perfectly---and that includes marrying the perfect duchess. A bluestocking Bohemian schoolteacher is decidedly not duchess material. But he can't resist her plea for help. As they fall further into the mystery, William discovers that he never got over his childhood crush on Phoebe, and he doesn't really want to."--Back cover.
