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 pleasureโand mortal danger.
Lady Marisa Hawkestoneโs nightmare is just beginning when she wakes up naked, with no memory of the night before, lying next to Maitland Spencer, the Duke of Lyttletonโa man so aloof and rational heโs nicknamed โthe Cold Duke.โ A scandal ensues, in which Marisaโs 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 wifeโs demands on his love and affection. Marisaโs hot-blooded spirit, however, does have its attractionsโespecially at night. In retrospect, it seems quite silly that he didnโt 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 aflameโor die trying.
