Filled with sensual writing and compelling emotional entanglements, Burrowes once again dazzles readers with the beautiful world of the Regency.

When the duke intrudes into every aspect of Thea's life, and adds humour, tenderness, and passionate kisses to their bargain, Thea must take His Grace firmly in hand...
