A Game with the Rakish Duke by Ava MacAdams

“I know exactly how to please a woman, dear wife. So let me satisfy you.”

Catherine must pay her brother’s debts or her family loses everything. But the only way to collect the money she needs is in a gaming hell. Dressed as a man, she almost succeeds…until she loses it all to the biggest rake in London.
Duke Thomas must marry. That’s what the ton expects of him at least. When he meets the alluring minx in dire straits, he offers her the winnings. On one condition: she must be his Duchess, but only in name.
Catherine knows she must stay away from her rake of a husband. For she can never win his heart, even if she surrenders to his seductive touch…

*If you like a realistic yet steamy depiction of the Regency and Victorian era, then A Game with the Rakish Duke is the novel for you.
