Third in the roguishly intriguing series by the New York Times
bestselling author of Tall, Dark, and Wicked and His Wicked
Reputation...
She appeals to his wicked inclinations, but he never expects she might
snare his heart....
Suspected of his brother's murder, Lancelot Hemingford, Duke of
Aylesbury, was forced to give up his hell-raising habits in London for
the anonymity of quiet country living. So, when an opportunity arises to
clear his name in exchange for proposing to the niece of a neighbor, he
sees no choice but to accept. Plus, seducing the reluctant maiden will
be a most intriguing challenge...
As Marianne Radley is dependent on her uncle, she must accept the Duke's
marriage proposal at her family's request, despite her belief he is
irredeemably wicked. But along with marrying him, she intends to sniff
out the duke's unsavory secrets and expose them to the world: a plan
that would be flawless were it not for one minor detail--even she, with
all her determination, is not immune to the charms of a rakish duke...
