Trapping A Duchess

Sophie and Andrew spend the requisite time out amongst the Ton, then find a private place where they can reap the benefits of their arrangement. All goes well until Andrew crosses an emotional line and Sophie is forced to decide between what she thinks she wants - and what she knows she feels.

When Simon realizes Andrew's been lying to him, he gives an unreasonable deadline for marriage. Yet Sophie is still indecisive. With time running out, Andrew decides to take matters into his own hands. After all, it's easier to gain forgiveness than permission.

The wedding date is set, the invitations sent, the Ton holding their collective breath. But Sophie still has one last matter to discuss before she makes that irreversible walk down the aisle.

And they lived happily ever after.

The End.

The appearance of Andrew's business partner Charles - and his cousin Kate - leaves more than just Sophie in a state of aggravation. And this time when she finds herself alone with the duke, things go from heated to downright incendiary.

Sophie's denial pushes Andrew to involve her brother Simon. When she attempts to ambush Andrew in his study, her plan backfires in the most horrible way imaginable.

Another ball, another meeting between Sophie and Andrew. Only this time, the duke is offering exactly what Sophie wants. Or is he?

Sophie and Andrew come to an arrangement of sorts.

Upon the death of his father, Andrew returns to England to assume his place as Duke of Tolland. His homecoming sends memories flooding his brain. But those are nothing compared to the surprise fate has in store for him.

The Season is in full swing with more balls, soirees and musicales than an aristocrat could shake a stick at. Most of the attendees, including Sophie, will be spending the evening at the Alfred's Ball. Any other night, Sophie would be excited, but tonight she's a bundle of nerves. For this will be the first event in which she and Andrew will both be in attendance.
