What's a lady to do when the man standing in her way might also be
the man of her dreams? Henry Deeping and Kate Meacham seem to clash
every time they meet. Kate is frustrated by the change in her
status following the death of her grandfather, a legendary figure
in diplomatic circles. As a lone single woman, she is now
effectively nobody, even though she knows everyone and has made
important contributions to diplomacy in the past. Henry, just
joining the Foreign Office, is wondering how to make his mark. They
agree to an exchange-Henry will serve as Kate's escort to important
events to which she is no longer invited, and Kate will introduce
him to the important people she knows so well. But when they spot a
foreign agent they thought had been apprehended, they decide to
investigate on their own, enlisting a motley group of friends and
relying on each other to uncover the truth... Praise for A Duke Too
