But when she wakes up with a hangover in what she thinks is a country doctor’s office, her life will take a turn.
Many people depend upon Elizabeth’s money, and she has finally concluded she must marry wealthy to secure everyone’s future that depends on her.
Her late husband left her many debts, and her most recent love has left her once he found out she was broke. But behind the scenes things are bleak for Elizabeth. Gorgeous and outrageous, she throws the best parties and knows everyone. Elizabeth Chudderly is a widow who is just the talk of the town. It is here he walks outside his house one morning to see a lovely lady passed out drunk in his rose bushes. Outraged and shocked and just completely sick of his brother’s behavior, Michael does the one thing his brother doesn’t expect him to do – he leaves the hospital, leaves town and goes into hiding in the country. The duke knows he will never marry again, so he turns to Michael and demands he marry well, and produce an heir, if he does not, he will take all funding from the hospital away. His brother funded the hospital that Michael now proudly runs. Years ago after Michael’s mother fell ill and nothing could be done to help her, Michael decided to turn to medicine and became a doctor. The duke is not only devastated his wife is dead, but her betrayal is drowning him, terrified the scandal will someday hit the papers. Lord Michael de Grey’s brother is a duke, a duke who has turned into a sickly recluse after his wife was discovered not only sleeping with many other men, but also giving away political secrets. This books starts with a really well done (and important) prologue. The more I read Meredith Duran books, the more I become fascinated and enthralled with her voice. That Scandalous Summer by Meredith Duran (Rules for the Reckless #1)
