A Trap by the Rakish Duke by Ava MacAdams

“You’d do well to stay far away from me, little lamb. Because I assure you, I am very much a wolf.”

Lady Aurelia’s father is a murderer. At least that’s what the Duke of Oakdale claims when he comes to collect the debt owed to his late brother, who died in a duel against her father.
Vowing to destroy the man who took his only family, Duke Philip sets out to ruin him by seizing what he treasures most: his daughter.
Now, Aurelia is trapped in the wolf’s lair—as his Duchess. But her husband’s touch is as intoxicating as it is dangerous. Soon, her resolve begins to waver; for resisting the wolf might be the hardest battle of all…

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