Duke of the Underworld by Scarlett Osborne

“You can call me your lord, little dove, but know that I intend to act like it…”

Desperate, Persephone sneaks off to London’s worst neighborhood in the middle of the night. No matter the cost, she must talk to the owner of Underworld…
A duke and a gaming hell owner, Hugh Blackwood is feared by all. Except the vixen bursting into his establishment, demanding a deal. So he offers her one: Herself for her father’s debt.
When Persephone accepts, she binds herself to him.
Hugh expects nothing but obedience yet all he gets is insolence from his new bride. Good thing he knows exactly how to put her in her place in the most pleasurable way…

*If you like a realistic yet steamy depiction of the Regency and Victorian era, then Duke of The Underworld is the novel for you.
