With her newfound freedom taking her on a downward spiral that has everyone in society talking, Florentia is threatened with being shackled to yet another older titled gentleman. In dire need of never being controlled again, she makes a deal with the one person who could save her from a loveless marriage … the brute who inherited her late husband’s title.

He’d spent years making a lucrative living as a bareknuckle boxer only to have it all snatched away right at the precipice of being crowned champion. Now burdened with the title and the widow of his father’s bastard of a cousin, he must learn to navigate through society. In desperate need of an instructor, he offers the infuriating duchess a deal, teach him the ways of society and he will gladly provide room and board for as long as she needs. As the deal turns wicked, will Florentia and Tavish find themselves succumbing to lust or will they discover something greater than they ever imagined?

When hope of a future together is in their grasp, an enemy from Tavish’s past threatens to destroy everything he holds dear, including Florentia. Can their love withstand the test, or will they fight any obstacle in their way together?
