“You’re a duke?” “Let me explain.” Living with a too-handsome-for-his-own-good roommate was trouble enough, but adding his royal title into the equation took it to an entirely different level. And why stop there? Toss in that Cameron Edward Alexander, Duke of Montclair, has just announced to an eager reporter that Janine Hughes was his fiancée. Granted, he’d said it in an accent that dreams were made from, but still . . . Engaged? To a duke? No way. Janine didn’t know if she should bow, curtsy, or call him Your Grace. This wasn’t in her plans. Janine wasn’t ready to be engaged to any man, much less a royal—and one she barely knew. But after hours of Cameron’s pleading (and a bit of shameless groveling), she agreed to pose as his fiancée and go to Montclair so they could do damage control. Little did they know, the wedding plans had already begun. **Once Upon a Duke is a stand-alone novel.**
