The Vampire Duke Courts the Wallflower TVD

Claire Hudson, the daughter of a small baron, has a bad reputation among the aristocrats. While her stepsister Lucia is considered the gem of the Season, she is the unattractive wallflower. And no one wants a wife without beauty or the graces of a true lady of class.

Unwilling to be a laughingstock during a dance in the Ton, Claire leaves the ballroom and goes into the garden to escape the mocking eyes. There, she witnesses an impossible thing. A vampire of myth with glowing red eyes and sharp fangs killing an unknown creature…

When she thinks she has escaped a deadly fate, the vampire, also known as the Duke of Stonehill, joins the party.
