A handsome and reclusive horse breeder, Spencer Dumarque,
the fourth Duke of Morland, is a member of the exclusive
Stud Club, an organization so select it has only ten members
— yet membership is attainable to anyone with luck. And
Spencer has plenty of it, along with an obsession with a
prize horse, a dark secret, and, now, a reputation as the
dashing “Duke of Midnight.” Each evening he selects one lady
for a breathtaking midnight waltz. But none of the women
catch his interest, and nobody ever bests the duke — until
Lady Amelia d’Orsay tries her luck.
In a moment of desperation, the unconventional beauty claims
the duke’s dance and unwittingly steals his heart. When
Amelia demands that Spencer forgive her scapegrace brother’s
debts, she never imagines that her game of wits and words
will lead to breathless passion and a steamy proposal.
Still, Spencer is a man of mystery, perhaps connected to the
shocking murder of the Stud Club’s founder. Will Amelia lose
her heart in this reckless wager or win everlasting love?
