Where There's a Duke, There's a Way

Arthur Hebblethwaite, Duke of Fitzpaine is in rather a pinch. Firstly, he's not actually a Duke.
It was such a clever idea. Pretend to be a duke, go to France, and live on the scraping and bowing of those desperate to impress a nobleman. All well and good, until someone recognizes him. Until he grabs a woman and uses her as a hostage to escape a French encampment. Until he looks at the woman and...oh, hell.
Joanna Bettencourt doesn't know what's worse: being a shy heiress with a father desperate to marry her off, being captured by the French and held prisoner, or being dragged onto a horse by a maniac by the name of the Duke of Fitzpaine. Pretending to have a husband ready to protect her seemed the obvious option.
But as the "Duke of Fitzpaine" and the "penniless Mrs. Epwin" arrive at the coast, desperate to return to England, they are faced with a problem: there's only one cabin. Cue a little pretence that this time they both share. A fake marriage.
They're both lying to each other, and they both don't know it-but they can't lie for long about the heat searing between them, the affection growing as they slowly open up to each other.
When the truth finally comes out, will there be a way for this "Duke" and this secret heiress to find happiness?
