Read The Spinster and the Rake Storyline:
Edward Stanhope, the icy Duke of Thornfield, likes his life in a certain order. Give him a strong drink, a good book, and his dog for company, and he’s content. But when he goes to his library and finds a woman sitting in his chair, petting his dog, what starts as a request for her to leave quickly turns to a fiery battle of wits, leading to a steamy kiss that could ruin them both if they were caught.So of course, damn it all, that’s when Edward’s aunt walks in, and thereafter announces Miss Georgiana Bly is the future Duchess of Thornfield.
Georgiana was content to be a spinster, spending quiet days reading books and working to keep her family out of debt. But now she’s expected to be in the center of society, wearing the latest fashions, and trying not to embarrass herself. As their wedding day approaches, Edward must teach Georgiana how to be the perfect duchess.
The attraction between them is hot and fierce, but is it enough to melt the duke’s chilly facade?
