title: The Willful Lady
author: Rutland, Eva
description: He was no match for her, or so she had thought.
  
  SHE would not go willingly into his bed
  
  When it came to plain speaking and fierce pride, Miss Amelia Allen was no flat. The daughter of an artist, she was barely accepted by the ton, and no one's reputation was more carefully scrutinised.
  
  Guy Grosvenor, the Duke of Winston, assumed the rumours suggesting that she was not all that she should be would suit him down to the ground. He was in the market for a mistress and had quite decided she would do nicely.
  
  But Amelia had other ideas which she did not hesitate to make known to him. She would rather turn up her toes than submit to such an odious fate. But how was she to know that Guy could never resist such a challenge?
