Self-made man Aidan Iverson has seen more closed doors in his thirty years than he’s ever cared to count. As a member of the elite Duke’s Den, he has all the money he could possibly need but the one thing he can’t purchase is true power. If roguish Aidan can’t buy his way into society’s hallowed halls, he’ll resort to a more extreme measure: marriage.
Brought up to be a proper lady, the only thing Diana Ashby desires is to be left alone to the creation of her own devices. But when her dreams are crushed, she must find another way to secure the future of her invention. Knowing his desire to enter her world, Diana strikes a deal to arrange Aidan’s marriage to the perfect lady—as long as that lady isn’t her. She doesn’t need any distractions from her work, particularly of the sinfully handsome variety.

As Diana and Aidan set out to find him an aristocratic match, neither are prepared for the passion that ignites between them or the love they can’t ignore.

In the Duke’s Den, can happiness ever be a winning prospect?

Narrator Karen Cass conveys all the frustrations and triumphs of a lady inventor in historical London in this slow-burn romance. Diana Ashby wants nothing more than to be left alone to work out her ideas, and she has one chance to gain the funding needed for the next step. Devilish Aiden Iverson agrees to back her project in exchange for being introduced to eligible ladies of the ton. What the pair doesn’t expect is that they will be attracted to each other–and more. Navigating a diverse cast with precision, a soft volume, and narrative embellishments, Cass delivers a solid performance that will send listeners looking for other audio books in the series.
