Books like The Odious Duke by Barbara Cartland
"His Most Noble Perfection," the London Bucks called him.
The elegant Duke of Selchester was indeed perfection--with his handsomely garbed figure and his devastatingly good looks. Now he wanted the perfect wife, well-bred and obedient, who would present him with an heir to his fortune and leave him untouched by love.
But a chance meeting with a winsome young beauty altered all his well-laid plans. And he was plunged into a mysterious intrigue with a woman who called him odious! Would she listen to her rebellious heart and offer him perfection of love?
