The Duke of Kittredge is that rarest of men-a wealthy, tall, and still-unmarried duke. As such, he's perennially at the top of the "Most Eligible Bachelor" list of the ton. Yet, he's never gotten close to landing a wife. Young ladies don't seem to like him. Scratch that. They revile him. And he's in complete sympathy with their opinion of him.
Because he is, without question, an insufferable clodpole.
But to please his mother, he's promised to attend a Christmas house party where he will meet a dozen possible future duchesses. He will waltz and carol and stand under mistletoe even as he yearns to cloister himself in his library with a blazing fire, a stack of books, and his dog.
So he does what any rational, right-thinking duke would do.
He runs away.
Enter the down-but-never-out Franny Cranwell. After what they've both been through, Franny just wants her little brother to have the most glorious Christmas ever. And he will. She'll make sure of it. Even if it means she has to give an adorably grumpy duke lessons in how to woo a wife.
If only the darling duke weren't so handsome and so brooding and so unintentionally funny.
And such a good kisser.
Duke the Halls is a steamy Regency romance Christmas novella and a prequel to The Bed Me Books series.
