title: The Duke's Son and the Cowgirl
author: Erfert, Debra
description: Pride and Prejudice runs into the Wild WestA duke's son not contemplating marriage. A young American woman who bowls him over. Can their friendship turn into love?Laurel Bellamy has no desire to stay in England after her sister marries the handsome and rich Christopher Lockwood, the 6th Marquess of Sheffield. The ridiculous snobbishness from his titled social circle thoroughly sours her on aristocratic life—until she runs into George, literally. George Mitchell's title of Marquess Marlow might work against him when getting to know the exciting cowgirl. Americans don't have an aristocracy, so his title isn't impressing her. While George is utterly drawn to Laurel in a way he never expected, his parent's, The Duke and Duchess of Bromley, are less than satisfied with her lack of title and social standing. With such persistent and devious interference, George must make a choice between his family's traditions and his own happiness.The Duke's Son and the Cowgirl is a Victorian Western romance novel of approximately 53,000 words. No cheating. No cliffhangers, and a guaranteed happily ever after.
