Daisy and the Duke: A Regency Romance

What does it take to turn a wallflower into a wildfire?

Miss Margaret Merriot is known as Daisy to her friends. But she is totally unknown by the larger world. Penniless, orphaned, and shy, Daisy is a true wallflower, destined to live out her days in the shadows, working for her thankless stepfamily. Living in the English countryside, Daisy knows that nothing special will happen to her...until she meets a most unusual duke.

Tristan Holbrook never wanted to become the Duke of Lyon, but when has fate ever favored him? Scarred by war, uneasy in his new life, and now saddled with a massive estate that can't pay for itself, Tristan needs a miracle to turn things around. One day, his path leads him directly to Daisy, and now he can't get his shy but sweet neighbor out of his mind.

Daisy is charmed by Tristan's direct manner and his unpretentious ways, not to mention his brooding good looks. But he's a duke, and must marry an heiress to fulfill his obligations. He's expected to announce his choice at the harvest ball. Daisy seems doomed to loneliness...unless she can change her destiny during one magical night...
