Book Description
An OutrageMiranda's father has left her inheritance under the trusteeship of a Duke of England? Miranda can scarcely comprehend what happened. Did her father not realize this is the twenty-first century? She is certainly capable of managing her own money. More importantly, she needs that money to start the hat business she's always dreamed of, and to keep her family together.
Worst of all, the Duke of Devonwood is an imperious, modern-day tycoon who insists he can manage her money better than she can.
A Heartbreaker
If Miranda can't prove herself indispensable to her step-family, they will desert her when they complete their planned move to England. She can't let that happen, not only because she loves them, but also because they are the only family she has.
A Plan
She's not about to sit home in New York City and let some arrogant Duke tell her what she can do with her own money. Luckily, she's determined, hard-working, and maybe a touch devious. She vows to do whatever it takes to foil the Duke...
Which may include skinny-dipping, flirting with his half-brother, faking illness, and befriending his half-sisters.
Which can not include falling in love.
A Complication
The Duke of Devonwood doesn't want more dependents. With an entire dukedom to run, plus his father's second family to manage, he has more than enough people hanging on his coattails. But this headstrong American woman, Miranda, doesn't take 'no' for an answer. In fact, she soon has most of his other dependents conniving with her—and against him.
He could handle the problem...if only she weren't so enticing.
Additional Complications
The Duke's step-mother already has a bride picked out for him.
Someone may be stealing Miranda's inheritance.
The Duke has his own secrets.
And the biggest problem they each face...is battling their own desires.

Book Review
All Miranda’s hopes of starting a hat business go up in
flames when her father’s lawyer reveals that her fortune is now tied up in a
trust which is controlled by the Duke of Devonwood. The duke was apparently a
classmate of her American tycoon father when he studied at Oxford. However
Miranda is not willing to let things stand that way. Surely an old man who
didn’t even know her would have no interest in minding her trust till she was
thirty five! So she takes her stepmother to England to try and reason with the
duke. Unfortunately the duke is dead and his heir Devon is not exactly open to
the idea of releasing their funds for a lavish wedding for her stepmother. Now
Miranda has to figure out how to change his mind.
