1. A masked ball is a very convenient locale to begin an anonymous seduction, especially if your duke is easily identified in his costume. Only take care that your disguise is not quite so easily penetrated.

2. Should you engage in a second encounter with your duke, be sure to leave behind a memento of the occasion on the pillow for him to find the following morning.

3. Do not be jealous if your duke seems enamored of your alter-ego. It was, after all, what you planned.

4. Be careful what you wish for.

5. It’s hard to have a future with a man haunted by his past.

6. One should always improve oneself through a variety of reading materials, especially risque periodicals.

7. Always have a robe handy. You never know when the duke’s brother might barge in.

8. When the duke asks you to marry him, say yes. Chances are he wants the marriage as well, despite acting as though he’s leading you to slaughter.

9. A strong back bone never goes out of style.

10. A man worth having is worth fighting for — and with.
