My Dear MISS DUPRÉ

By Grace Hitchcock

Description:

Willow Dupré never thought she would have to marry, but with her
father’s unexpected retirement from running the prosperous Dupré
sugar refinery, plans changed. The shareholders are unwilling to allow a
female to take over the company without a man at her side, so her parents
devise a plan—find Willow a spokesman king in order for her to become
queen of the empire.

Willow is presented with thirty potential suitors from the families
of New York society’s elite group called the Four Hundred. She has six
months to court the group and is expected to eliminate men each month to
narrow her beaus until she chooses one to marry, ending the competition
with a wedding. Willow reluctantly agrees, knowing she must do what
is best for the business. She doesn’t expect to find anything other than
a proxy . . . until she meets Cullen Dempsey, and she must discover for
herself if his motives are pure.
