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 pleasure—and
mortal danger.
Lady Marisa Hawkestone’s nightmare is just beginning when
she wakes up naked, with no memory of the night before,
lying next to Maitland Spencer, the Duke of Lyttleton—a man
so aloof and rational he’s nicknamed “the Cold Duke.” A
scandal ensues, in which Marisa’s 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 wife’s demands on his love and
affection. Marisa’s hot-blooded spirit, however, does have
its attractions—especially at night. In retrospect, it seems
quite silly that he didn’t 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 aflame—or die trying.
