Stand Alone Novel
By: Charlotte Fitzwilliam

Compassionate Duke

 Miss Lilly wasn't looking for love, but love searched her out.

Miss Lilly is supposed to be preparing for marriage. In fact, it is all her father and brothers ever seem to talk about. But she is the daughter of the Viscount de Chagnie; her match will be made for her, and Lilly is no hurry to add another man to her world.
James Cavendish, the Duke of Salisbury, is new to his title and already tired of the sycophants and parasites that multiply with each new dinner party. When he arrives at the spring revelry, the duke is already sour to the idea of enduring another Season. That is, until he is introduced to a slip of a girl with skin like pearls and no interest in the attention of men, aside from what they can give to those in need.
He will make Lilly’s passion for charity his legacy, if only to garner her interest. But first, he must court the favor of four older brothers and her domineering father, all to stand a chance of showing Lilly that his generosity can extend beyond the workhouses, and her heart is worth more than title or fortune. Will she accept the duke’s attentions, and will the duke’s attentions stay on Lilly?
