About the book: year / “I propose you to become my wife,” Duke Daniel Dorset said. And he looked at me with enchanting dark turquoise eyes, in which all the beauties of the surrounding area periodically went to swim.

I looked at him, remembering yesterday’s ball, where I had disgraced myself for a couple of generations. - You love your younger sister, right? - said the Duke in an even voice. - My best friend, Count Aspen Clent, decided to marry your sister at all costs. I tried to dissuade him all morning. But he is fascinated by your sister. To tell the truth, she is very pretty, unlike... you!
