Description

When girl meets Duke, their marriage breaks all the rules…Since his return from war, the Duke of Ashbury’s to-do list has been short and anything but sweet: brooding, glowering, menacing London ne’er-do-wells by night. Now there’s a new item on the list. He needs an heir-which means he needs a wife. When Emma Gladstone, a vicar’s daughter turned seamstress, appears in his library wearing a wedding gown, he decides on the spot that she’ll do. His terms are simple: – They will be husband and wife by night only. – No lights, no kissing. – No questions about his battle scars. – Last, and most importantly…Once she’s pregnant with his heir, they need never share a bed again. But Emma is no pushover. She has a few rules of her own: – They will have dinner together every evening. – With conversation. – And unlimited teasing. – Last, and most importantly…Once she’s seen the man beneath the scars, he can’t stop her from falling in love…
