The next thrilling installment in Megan Frampton's scintillating A
Duke's Daughters series.
She's a deliciously scandalous woman who is no man's bride...
He's a black sheep, forced to return home.
Together, they enter a make-believe betrothal that shocks London
society...
After twelve years in Her Majesty's Navy, Griffith Davies must leave his
sea-going life of outrageous freedom behind, forced to rejoin London
society as the heir to the Duke of Northam. But though he is now
shackled to the land, he has no desire to wed some innocently dull young
thing. Who best to shield him from the matchmakers than a woman as
notorious as he?
Lady Della Howlett's reputation was tattered years ago, so entering into
a false engagement with Griffith is hardly going to make matters worse.
What's one more shock to the ton to set their tongues wagging? And
this pact certainly has its pleasures; the passion Griffith commands in
her goes well beyond their agreement. Could her feelings might be more
honorable than she'd first imagined?
Soon, Griffith and Della are arousing more than scandal, they're
courting heartbreak. And more than their reputations could still be at
risk.
