A Virgin for the Cruel Duke by Olivia T. Bennet

“You know what you must do if you want me to touch you, wife: beg.”

Given to the cruel Duke as a peace offering, Elizabeth vows never to become a pawn. Not for her family, and especially not for her new husband. Yet whenever he’s close she can’t help but long for his lips on her…
Marrying his enemy’s daughter is the only way for Duke Stephen to end the feud between their families. But when his alluring bride dares challenge him, a dark obsession stirs within him. And now, he must possess every inch of her body.
Elizabeth may be his, but she won’t allow him to claim her. Only, Stephen knows exactly how to make his wife beg for his touch…
