Miss Timothy Perseveres The Outcast Alone in the world, Miss Persys Timothy has lived under the protection of her wealthy aunt, serving as her cousin's companion and confidante. But once her cousin is married, Persys is no longer needed-or wanted. Summarily put out of her aunt's home, she has nowhere to go and no one to turn to-until the Duke of Eddington surprisingly comes to her rescue. He is in dire need of a companion to keep his injured mother amused and whisks Persys off to his grand country estate. Struck by her disarming combination of unusual violet eyes and exotic Persian name, the dashing Duke is quite taken with Persys. But his campaign to win her affection is almost sabotaged by Persys herself, who sees nothing but folly in falling head over heels for a duke. And when the time comes that the duchess no longer needs Persys's help, the Duke must devise a way to trap "his Persian woman"-in his house and in his heart....
