Revenge turns to desire and a wicked rake falls hard in this latest entry in USA Today Bestselling author Scarlett Scott's Dukes Most Wanted series.
After spending all her life pinned beneath her overbearing motherās thumb, Lady Edith Smythe is desperately weary of being a respectable, dutiful daughter. What better time to finally cast aside her wallflower ways than at a country house party where womenās suffrage is the leading topic of the day? And thereās no better man to exercise her freedom with than a diabolically handsome rake whoās as sinful as he is irresistible.
Valentine Blakemoor, self-made property magnate and one of the wealthiest men in England, has been lured to the wilds of Yorkshire by the promise of vengeance. Seducing the bookish, bespectacled Lady Edith proves an embarrassingly easy feat. But once he has her in his bed, Val is bemused to discover Lady Edith is far more than the quiet, freckled spinster he believed. To his shock, he canāt seem to get enough of her, which decidedly wasnāt part of his plan.
Lady Edith is firm on her insistence that one night and her innocence are all sheās willing to give. And when she discovers his true motives for pursuing her, nothing between them will ever be the sameā¦
