Miss Rosalind Weaver is on a mission.
She must convince the Duke of Fallon to marry her, or her father will give her away to the next highest bidder, a man she cannot stand. With her father ruined by gaming debts, the leering Lord Tewksbury has offered a fortune to claim her.
Trudging two miles from the public coach, she reaches Fallon Hall with dusty hems, empty pockets, and a practiced smile. Rosalind expects to strike an honorable bargain, yet the brooding nobleman carries a scandalous reputation as the devil duke.
Villagers whisper that Richard March caused the deaths of his first two wives, but turning back is impossible. Facing the intimidating widower across a candlelit table, she presents her terms with cool composure, confident that a sensible marriage will save her.
She thinks all the Duke desires is reassurance that she can give him an heir, but she soon learns he wants a more thorough test of how she will fare as his wife—in the bedroom….
