Curves for the Rakish Duke: The Busty Bodice Club Book Two - Paperback

by Cathy Maxwell (Author)

From scandalous portraits and secret wagers...to daring rescues and forbidden kisses...the Busty Bodice Club isn't just about finding love. It's about embracing every lush curve, every wild desire, and every reckless chance at happiness.
Because when eight curvy women set out to rewrite their stories, the ton doesn't stand a chance.

Lady Celeste Harrington's father had a dying wish--for her to create a charity, an undertaking that demands every ounce of courage the painfully shy young woman possesses. Asking for help is no easy feat, even for so noble a cause as aiding soldiers left crippled by war. But when society's most powerful matrons mock her efforts, Celeste resolves to do something daring: she will enlist the notorious Duke of Salcomb, the Dragon of London himself, to champion her mission. With his support, the world will be forced to see Britain's forgotten veterans. First, however, she must find a way to capture the Dragon's attention-even if it means braving his lair.

Oliver Granier is restless. Life has become a tiresome parade of predictability-until a petite whirlwind of a woman dares to storm his home and beg for his support... for a charity, of all things. Intrigued, Oliver is captivated. Women have sought him out before, usually for a place in his bed. However, Lady Celeste is asking simply for his presence. Is it that she sees something in him no one else has ever glimpsed?

And why does he find himself longing-not merely to help her cause, but to claim her as his own?
