If there's one thing society knows about Thorne Cumming, the new Duke of Stroken, it's that he enjoys the pleasures offered by a lady. Or two ladies—or even a gentleman. Or all of them at once; he's not picky when it comes to pleasure. But now that his uncle's gone and selfishly died, Thorne is having to learn how to Duke—and must save the Crown from a traitor who is days away from falling into his trap!
After years on stage, Kit Pastorino has come to London undercover; she wants to learn all she can about her estranged father before she reveals herself. What better way than to go into service dressed as a lad? Her new role as the Duke of Stroken's footman is going well . . . until she finds herself unexpectedly promoted to the man's valet. Her performing skills have never before been so useful—or more necessary.
But . . . Thorne is a charmer, and while he makes it clear he could bring her all sorts of pleasure, Kit is doing her best to resist his allure and maintain her disguise. Until the horrible, wonderful moment he finds out the truth about her: not just what lies beneath her trousers, but who she really is . . . and how she can help him spring his trap.
Contains mature themes.
