Must Love Dukes (Tricks of the Ton)
*Starred Review* The wench stole his watch! Devon Grey, Duke of Thornwood, should have known Lily Whitby was no ordinary lady when she followed him into a tavern and then followed him home. The clincher is waking up the next morning and discovering that both Lily and his brand-new pocket watch are gone. A year later, when Devon accidentally runs into Lily at a ball and learns that she is actually Lillian Phillips, he vows to teach her a lesson she won’t soon forget. If Lily doesn’t agree to participate in a series of daring wagers that he devises, Devon will ruin her reputation. What starts out as a fun way to pass the time for Devon soon turns into something much more serious once he discovers that Lily has managed to steal one more thing: his heart. Michels’ fresh and funny debut will delight readers with its endearing characters and infectious mix of sweet yet sexy romance and realistic yet wry  wit. --John Charles
