Is suddenly a duke's heir!

Miss Jocelyn Sudderfeld is working at Edge Hall, indulging her love of translating ancient texts with her librarian father--and evading the need to marry! She's always enjoyed a teasing friendship with estate manager Mr. Alex Cheverton. Until he unexpectedly becomes the duke's heir. Now his first duty is to marry a suitable debutante, not consort with an earnest bluestocking like her... So where does that leave their friendship?
