The Dukes and Desires Series

Alice Lacey and her marriage to the Duke of Ferrant was the event of the season. No one realized Alice secretly loved someone else - or that she confided her feelings to a clever talking mynah bird who announces these intimacies at the moment of the couple's wedding. Alice's marriage started out and remained cold and impersonal, and her new husband loves another woman. The man Alice thought she loved isn't who he seems; and the man she married, something far more than she hoped. Her last hope and redemption is convincing the man she wedded that they are in love.
