He was once happily bedding and boxing, but in the newest Duke's
Behaving Badly novel, Nicholas Smithfield has inherited a title and a
bride . . .
To keep his estate afloat, the new Duke of Gage must honor an agreement
to marry Lady Isabella Sawford. Stunningly beautiful, utterly tempting,
she's also a bag of wedding night nerves, so Nicholas decides to wait to
do his duty--even if it means heading to the boxing saloon every day to
punch away his frustration.
Groomed her whole life to become the perfect duchess, Isabella longs for
independence, a dream that is gone forever. As her husband, Nicholas can
do whatever he likes--but, to Isabella's surprise, the notorious rake
instead begins a gentle seduction that is melting every inch of her
reserve, night by night . . .
To his utter shock, Nicholas discovers that no previous exploits were
half as pleasurable as wooing his own wife. But has the realm's most
disreputable duke found the one woman who can bring him to his knees--
and leave him there?
