All of London knows the Duke of Rutherford has position
and
wealth. They also whisper that he’s dissolute, devilish,
and
determinedly unwed. So why, everyone is asking, has he
hired
a governess?
When Miss Lily Russell crosses the threshold of the Duke
of
Rutherford’s stylish townhouse, she knows she has come
face
to face with sensual danger. For this is no doting papa.
Rather, his behavior is scandalous, and his reputation
rightly earned. And his pursuit of her is nearly
irresistible—but resist she must for the sake of her
pupil.
As for the duke himself, it was bad enough when his
unknown
child landed on his doorstep. Now Lily, with her
unassuming
beauty, has aroused his most wicked fantasies—and,
shockingly, his desire to change his wanton ways. He’s
determined to become worthy of her, and so he asks for her
help in correcting his behavior.
But Lily has a secret, one that, if it becomes known,
could
change everything…
