He’s betrothed… but not to the woman who holds his heart.Jessica Brentwood came to London determined to escape her past. With her father’s disgrace lingering like a shadow, she vows to uphold a flawless reputation during her first Season. But when she’s found in a compromising position—utterly innocent yet undeniably scandalous—with none other than the wicked Duke of Bainbridge, her plans for propriety are dashed. Offered a marriage of necessity, Jessica stuns Society by refusing. She’d rather face ruin than be bound to a notorious rake… no matter how much he stirs her curiosity.
Crispin Rowley, Duke of Bainbridge, has lived beneath the label of a rogue for years—some of it earned, much of it exaggerated. Betrothed since childhood to a woman he doesn’t love, he never imagined escape would come in the form of the spirited Miss Brentwood. He’s long admired her from a distance, but when a cruel scheme forces them together, his desire to protect her becomes something far more dangerous… and deeply personal.
As whispers fly and reputations hang by a thread, Crispin must choose between duty and the one woman who sees beyond the scandal. And Jessica must decide if she dares trust the man who claims to cherish her… even as the past threatens to destroy them both.
