1. A Duke Always Gets What He Wants: In a matter of a few days, Ethan’s bachelor residence transitions to a home with three ladies, one of which proves to be exceedingly distracting.
Persephone Carlisle was the most beautiful woman Ethan had ever seen, but she was the best friend of his sister not to mention an innocent. While he had no qualms about seeking the bed of a young widow or an unhappily married lady of the ton, he did have scruples when it came to taking a woman’s innocence, so Persephone was off limits. But every time he sees her, he feels drawn to her and the possessive jealousy he feels every time another man glances in her direction was driving him mad. He wanted her in his bed, but marriage was not on his immediate agenda.
Persephone was excited about the season and all the enticements London has to offer, but the duke’s sudden interest has her confused. She knew exactly the kind of man he was, she had read about his exploits in the scandal sheets for years, so she knew that it was a mistake to let him get too close. However, she found it increasingly more difficult to ignore his seductive glances and his kisses were enough to drive any girl to the brink of madness. But he was dangerous, and Persephone knew that falling for his charms would only lead to ruin. Ethan was accustomed to getting anything he wanted, he was a duke after all, and he wanted Persephone in his bed if nothing more. But the lady had sworn to marry only for love, a ridiculous notion especially for ton marriages. But when danger threatens and he is faced with the prospect of losing her forever, he begins to wonder if love is as impossible as he first thought. Unfortunately, he may have waited too late to share his feelings. Would he be able to save the woman he desired above all others, or would this be the first time a duke did not get what he wanted?
2. A Duke Always Has a Secret: The London season: when the aristocracy descended upon London for its grand balls, garden parties, and other salacious meetings behind closed doors. Ladies draped in glittering jewels and beautiful ballgowns tried their best to attract the attention of London’s most eligible and wealthy bachelors. Those same bachelors did their best to avoid the matchmaking mothers who would like nothing more than to see them firmly caught in the parson’s trap. The scandal sheets were filled with exploits of the men and women who dared to skirt propriety.
A heartbroken Lady Catherine Gray, sister to the Duke of Hawksford, has fled London to join her aunt in Brighton. Determined to have her own adventures, Catherine’s antics caused quite a stir. When she ends up in the scandal sheets, her brother summons her back to London. Catherine knew she would have to return to London eventually, though the journey fills her with chagrin. As the sister to a wealthy and powerful duke, she would need to marry one day. After the events of the last season, however, she was not as eager as she should be to return to London’s elite ton. Catherine had loved her brother’s best friend Michael Shelbourne since she was a young girl. Michael, the Duke of Leicester, had quite a reputation as one of London’s infamous rakes. She had tried to catch his eye at every turn and thought that her first season would be the time he finally noticed her. Unfortunately, she discovered that Leicester may never return her affections. As she begrudgingly returns to London, completely free of her infatuation with the duke, she is ready to prove her affections for Leicester were the musings of a young girl.
Michael Shelbourne, Duke of Leicester, had known Lady Catherine Gray for most of her life. When she returns to London and refuses to acknowledge him, he is confounded by her behavior. She’s more beautiful than he remembered. Now, faced with the possibility of seeing her with another, he realizes he made a terrible mistake.
Trying to win back her affections is harder than he imagined it would be, and Catherine is not the same woman he knew before. When a dangerous secret comes between them, will the connection they have be enough to overcome the perils ahead? Or will he lose her again, this time for good?
