Sensual heat melts the ice in the new Disgraced Lords novel from USA Today bestselling author Bronwen Evans, as a marriage of convenience leads to delightful pleasureβand mortal danger.
Lady Marisa Hawkestoneβs nightmare is just beginning when she wakes up naked, with no memory of the night before, lying next to Maitland Spencer, the Duke of Lyttletonβa man so aloof and rational heβs nicknamed βthe Cold Duke.β A scandal ensues, in which Marisaβs beloved beau deserts her. As a compromised woman, Marisa agrees to marry Maitland. But on her wedding night, Marisa discovers the one place the duke shows emotion: in the bedroom, where the man positively scorches the sheets.
Taught from a young age to take duty seriously, Maitland cannot understand his new wifeβs demands on his love and affection. Marisaβs hot-blooded spirit, however, does have its attractionsβespecially at night. In retrospect, it seems quite silly that he didnβt marry sooner. But being one of the Libertine Scholars requires constant vigilance, even more so when the enemy with a grudge against his closest friends targets Marisa. Now Maitland must save the woman who sets his heart aflameβor die trying.
