About the Book
"In Alexandra Vasti's newest Regency rom-com, a reclusive earl's life is turned upside down when a stranger shows up on his doorstep with an astonishing proposal-and an inconvenient connection to espionage. For three years, wallflower heiress Lydia Hope-Wallace has anonymously penned seditious pamphlets. And for almost as long, she's corresponded with the Earl of Strathrannoch, whose political ambition is matched only by his charm. When Arthur's latest letter reveals his dire financial straits, Lydia sets out for Scotland to offer him the only salvation she can think of-a marriage of convenience. To, um, herself. Unfortunately, the Earl of Strathrannoch has no idea who she is. When a bewitching redheaded stranger offers him her hand in marriage, Arthur Baird is stunned-but when he learns that his traitorous brother has been writing to her under Arthur's name, he's bloody furious. He's content to live alone in his moldering castle, and he has no desire for a provocative, radical wife. (Or at least, he shouldn't.) But Arthur is desperate to track down his brother, who's become dangerously entangled in British espionage, and he needs Lydia's help. What he doesn't need? The attraction that burns hotter each moment they spend together. As Lydia slips past his defenses and his brother's mysterious past becomes a very present threat, Arthur will have to risk everything to keep her safe-even his heart"--Book Synopsis
"Bridgerton at its sexiest . . . Crush? Ha. I'm in love with the earl!" - Eloisa James, New York Times bestselling author
USA Today bestselling author Alexandra Vasti returns with another hot, hilarious Regency romp about a reclusive earl and the wallflower-turned-radical-pamphleteer who turns his life upside down. For three years, wallflower heiress Lydia Hope-Wallace has anonymously penned seditious pamphlets--and for almost as long, she's corresponded with the reclusive Earl of Strathrannoch. When Arthur's latest letter reveals his dire financial straits, Lydia sets out for Scotland to offer him the only salvation she can think of: a marriage of convenience. To, um, herself. But the real earl has no idea who she is. When a bewitching stranger offers him her hand in marriage, Arthur Baird is stunned. And when he learns that his traitorous brother has been writing to her under Arthur's name, he's bloody furious. He's content to live alone in his moldering castle, and he has no desire for a radical wife. (Or at least, he shouldn't.) But Arthur is desperate to track down his brother, who's become dangerously entangled in British espionage, and he needs Lydia's help. What he doesn't need? The attraction that burns hotter each moment they spend together. As Lydia slips past his defenses and his brother's mysterious past becomes a very present threat, Arthur will have to risk everything to keep her safe--even his heart. "Wildly delightful!

Arthur Baird is the new definition of a pining, besotted hero, and his deep love and appreciation for Lydia Hope-Wallace's mind and courage had me swooning.

"If it were socially acceptable for blurbs to be in all caps, I'd do it for Ne'er Duke Well and Alexandra Vasti. Outrageously hot, tender, and brimming with wit, Vasti has secured herself as an auto-buy author in my book, one that I will stay up way too late reading and be glad for the lack of sleep come morning. Vasti's story-telling is this season's incomparable, a title she'll hold for year's to come with the care and craft she deftly applies to her incredible novels." - Mazey Eddings, author of The Plus One "Utterly delicious and undeniably clever, Alexandra Vasti's Ne'er Duke Well was unputdownable. I'm absolutely certain that Regency romance fans everywhere will love this warm, wonderfully witty, and oh-so-sexy novel just as much as I did. What a spectacular debut!" - Amy Rose Bennett, author of Up All Night with a Good Duke
