Book Synopsis

Book #1 of The Devil's Duke

Lady Constance Read is independent, beautiful, and in need of a husband--now. The last man on earth she wants is the rogue who broke her heart six years ago, never mind that his kisses are scorching hot . . .

Evan Saint-André Sterling is rich, scarred, and finished with women--forever. He's not about to lose his head over the bewitching beauty who once turned his life upside down.

But Constance needs a warrior, and Saint is the perfect man for the job. Only as a married woman can she penetrate Scotland's most notorious secret society and bring a diabolical duke to justice. When Constance and Saint become allies--and passionate lovers--he'll risk everything to protect the only woman he has ever loved.
