About the Book
The ton called her a scandal. Her husband called her trouble. Irresistible trouble…
Lady Ashley Ware has spent three years as society’s cautionary tale, carefully rebuilding her reputation one quiet step at a time. But one moment of compassion—offering comfort to the grieving Duke of Blackstone in a moonlit garden—destroys everything she’s worked for when they’re caught in a compromising embrace.
Raven Perrin, Duke of Blackstone, lives by society’s rules. Proper, controlled, and utterly devoted to duty, he’s drowning in grief over losing the only woman he’s ever loved. The last thing he needs is to be trapped in marriage to a lady whose mere presence threatens his carefully ordered world.
Their marriage of convenience should be simple: he provides protection and respectability, she provides…nothing he wants. But Ashley refuses to be ignored. Determined to claim the one thing that might bring purpose to her lonely existence—a child—she embarks on a scandalous plan to seduce her own husband.
But Raven has a secret—one he’s terrified Ashley will discover. Still, she’s determined to be a wife to Raven and manages to make some gains. Until her secret—the one she’s been keeping for three years—comes to light and almost destroys everything…
