false <![CDATA[The Wicked Ways of a Duke (Girl Bachelors, #2)]]> 1636229 1 <b>She thought she was the luckiest woman in London...</b> Surviving on a seamstress' income and a steady stream of fantasies, Prudence Bosworth has always longed for love and romance. Then she inherits a fortune from the father she's never seen, with the stipulation that she wed in one year. Prudence is determined to marry for true love, and after seeing firsthand the splendid chivalry of a certain duke, only one man will do . . . Rhys de Winter, the Duke of St. Cyres, hides his cynicism behind a quick wit and an even quicker smile. He must marry an heiress, and as luck would have it, the pretty little seamstress-turned-heiress is exactly what he needs. But he never expected to fall for Prudence, and when his shocking deception is revealed, he will stop at nothing to win her back . . . even if it means renouncing every last one of his wicked ways. 1630465 1 1 2008 The Wicked Ways of a Duke (Girl Bachelors, #2) total:161|5:25|4:56|3:58|2:19|1:3| 161 564 241 24 3 2 false false Sun Jun 08 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Mon Jun 02 14:34:57 -0700 2008 Sun Jun 08 09:27:47 -0700 2008 more...]]> 3 4 false false Wed Aug 12 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sun Aug 02 18:07:29 -0700 2009 Wed Aug 12 00:42:34 -0700 2009 The Wicked Ways of a Duke is the second book in Laura Lee Guhrke's Girl Bachelor series. After reading And Then He Kissed Her, I expected much more from this book than the author delivered. The book was well written, but the plot was lacking and the characters weren't engaging.
