Inhaltsangabe

She dreamed of a passionate fairy-tale love. He needed a proper duchess—not a woman who could steal his heart.

In this steamy marriage of convenience Victorian historical romance, a grumpy duke and the unconventional heroine who transforms his properly ordered life must risk everything for a love neither expected.

#1 Bestselling Historical Romance

Winner of the Maggie Award for Excellence

When fate throws Fancy Sheridan, a tinker’s daughter with dreams of romance and adventure, into the arms of Severin Knight, the powerful Duke of Knighton, neither of them is prepared for the consequences. Fancy finds herself wed to a reserved nobleman who promises his protection but not his heart—while Knighton discovers his new duchess is nothing like the high-born lady he intended to marry.

Knighton needs a duchess who can command society and gain acceptance for his unruly half-siblings. Instead, he finds himself captivated by a spirited wife who knows nothing of drawing room rules. As Fancy struggles to master her new role and Knighton fights the growing desire he cannot control, their inconvenient marriage begins to transform into something far more dangerous—and far more irresistible.

But when secrets from their pasts rise to threaten their fragile happiness, Fancy and Knighton must decide whether to protect themselves from heartbreak—or risk everything for the love they never expected to find.
