The supposedly dead Duke of Comerford requires a wife. And quickly.

By tomorrow noon, to be precise.

Blame it on his father’s ridiculous will. A Duchess is required before the estates can pass into his hands.

Miss Marian has only come to plead with the surly Duke for an extension on her father’s mountainous debts. Perfect for him. If she becomes his Duchess, he’ll happily annul her father’s promissory note.

What he doesn’t know is that she has loathed him since childhood, and that she has no intention of enduring the role of Duchess for more than seven days – precisely the time she needs to put her escape plan into action.

The Duke may be a monster, but he is a man of his word. He’s determined to visit her bedchamber, night after night... until she provides him with a son and heir.

Exciting – witty – sizzling. In seven days – and nights, oh the nights! – much can happen. A standalone novel with a happily-ever-after. For adult readers only.
