Miss Penelope Prestwick wants a Duke for a husband, and she has a plan to get him. She has her sights set on the Duke of Edenham. Penelope will enlist help from Lady Dalby, because she has a talent for match making. Lady Dalby points her towards Marquis of Iveston. Penelope is determined to have the Duke of Edenham, so she makes a side wager with the Marquis of Iveston. With wagers flying all over the ton which man is the right one for her?

Marquis of Iveston has become an eccentric. He has stayed away from the match making mothers and their daughters for a reason. He is on his way to Lady Dalby's house with his brother when they are delayed by Miss Prestwick. She is a unique woman that mystifies him. He runs into her again at Lady Dalby's house, and she sits him on his butt by making a unique wager with him. Which wager will be won and by who?

Claudia Dain has done a fabulous job of continuing her Courtesan Chronicles with How to Dazzle a Duke. This is the fourth book in this series. Ms. Dain gives the readers a beautifully written historical romance with some humors twist that will have them begging for more. Penelope does not know what hits her when Iveston makes up his mind that she is what he wants. Ms. Dain has a bestseller on her hands. How to Dazzle a Duke is one for the keeper shelf, and I cannot wait to see what will happen next.
