Eloisa James returns to the Wildes of Lindow Castle series with the next Wilde child who runs and joins a theatre troupe — and the duke who tries to save her reputation.

He wants a prim and proper duchess, not the Wildest of the Wildes!

Already notorious for the golden hair that proves her mother’s infidelity, Lady Joan can’t seem to avoid scandals, but her latest escapade may finally ruin her: she’s determined to perform the title role of a prince—in breeches, naturally.

She has the perfect model for an aristocratic male in mind: Thaddeus Erskine Shaw, Viscount Greywick, a man who scorned the very idea of marrying her.

Not that Joan would want such a dubious honor, of course.

For years, Thaddeus has avoided the one Wilde who shakes his composure, but he’s horrified when he grasps the danger Joan’s putting herself in. Staring into her defiant eyes, he makes the grim vow that he’ll keep her safe.

He strikes a bargain: after one performance, the lady must return to her father’s castle and marry one of three gentlemen whom he deems acceptable.

Not including him, of course.

Kirkus Reviews….“Opposites attract when the unconventional daughter of a Georgian duke strikes an unlikely bargain with a straight-laced family friend. Lady Joan Wilde has been raised as the beloved daughter of the Duke of Lindow in spite of the fact that she is known to be illegitimate and no daughter of Lindow’s. ….. Thaddeus, who’s visiting Lindow Castle with his mother, agrees to help her perform in disguise as Hamlet in a nearby town. This plot brings them closer together, but Thaddeus needs to marry an unimpeachable lady to repair the reputation of his family and his title since his father has been living scandalously with his mistress and their children for decades. ….. In another laugh-out-loud scene, the dramatically dying Duke of Eversley is borne into the Lindow dining room on an ermine-draped litter. The Duke of Lindow goes on with his meal, the ultimate snub. A story as wild as the heroine’s family name and one that will reward romance fans who want a funny book about an unusual heroine.”
