Lady Madeleine Brayson fled Britain and the humiliating loss of a duke's proposal –or so it seemed. In truth, she was fed up with doing the expected and with her overbearing parents pushing her toward a match she didn't want. Besides, her heart was already spoken for. Lord Daniel Waverly saw his best friend go after the woman he himself loved and then forsake her for another. Before he could help her pick up the pieces, she had left for the Continent. Perhaps she hadn't felt the same spark he had. Madeleine has returned, and Daniel is determined to claim her as his own this time. Perhaps the help of a certain duchess and a well-known confectionery will bring these two sweethearts together.
