Third in the roguishly intriguing series by the New York
Times bestselling author of Tall, Dark, and Wicked and
His Wicked Reputation...
She appeals to his wicked inclinations, but he never
expects she might snare his heart....
Suspected of his brother’s murder, Lancelot Hemingford,
Duke of Aylesbury, was forced to give up his hell-raising
habits in London for the anonymity of quiet country
living. So, when an opportunity arises to clear his name
in exchange for proposing to the niece of a neighbor, he
sees no choice but to accept. Plus, seducing the
reluctant maiden will be a most intriguing challenge...
As Marianne Radley is dependent on her uncle, she must
accept the Duke's marriage proposal at her family’s
request, despite her belief he is irredeemably wicked.
But along with marrying him, she intends to sniff out the
duke’s unsavory secrets and expose them to the world: a
plan that would be flawless were it not for one minor
detail—even she, with all her determination, is not
immune to the charms of a rakish duke...
