{"product_id":"2940045009386","title":"The Mésalliance","description":"\u003cp\u003eReluctantly, the Duke of Rockliffe is in the market for a wife. His requirements are simple; a lady who will occupy her position with well-bred grace and chaperone his sister, Nell – but who will not bore him to distraction. He is acquainted with a number of ladies who could fulfil the first two but none who can achieve the last.\u003cbr\u003eWhilst accompanying his sister to what he speedily comes to regard as the house-party from hell, he meets Adeline Kendrick - acid-tongued, no more than passably good-looking yet somehow alluring; a combination that Rockliffe finds infuriatingly provocative. Worse still, her relatives are quite deplorable - from Cousin Diana, a spoiled and ill-natured beauty, to manipulative and sadistic Uncle Richard. As a prospective bride, therefore, Adeline is out of the question. Until, that is, a bizarre turn of events cause the Duke to make what the Polite World world will call a mésalliance.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Stella Riley","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47075022766320,"sku":"2940045009386","price":4.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940045009386_p0.jpg?v=1763969402","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940045009386","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
