From the author of Stolen Encounters with the Duchess. “Beautifully written, touching . . . one of the strongest historical romances I’ve read recently.” —All About Romance
“Duty can also be pleasure, Lady Alyssa . . .”
When politician Benedict Tawny set out to save Lady Alyssa from a nefarious plot, he never expected to find himself trapped in a compromising situation with the alluring lady. Now duty demands he propose . . . and claim her as his bride!
Tainted by his illegitimacy, Ben knows he can’t give Alyssa the life of luxury she deserves. But if he can convince her to succumb to the undeniable heat between them, their convenient marriage might just lead to the love of a lifetime.
“I love the Hadley’s Hellion series! While this is a traditional Regency romance, there are several dark themes explored which gives the story added depth and gives the characters more room to develop.” —The Book Review
