An opposites-attract Regency romance between a straitlaced duke and a scandalous countess!
His Grace or disgrace? She can’t have both!
Dowager Countess Barbara’s two unhappy marriages taught her one lesson—never, ever again! To stop her ambitious father marrying her off once more, she’ll do anything. Even ruin herself so thoroughly that no groom will have her! And the quickest way to do that? Secure the disapproval of Xavier, Duke of Derbridge. He’s enormously influential and infamously straitlaced.
If only winning his censure wasn’t quite so fun, and his looks weren’t quite so intoxicating… Barbara’s steely resolve soon wavers. Because successfully disgracing herself would mean alienating the infuriatingly upright duke she craves—forever!
