Her Ruse with the Rakish Duke by Harriet Caves

“Come. Let me show you just how wicked my tongue can be.”

A wallflower like Lady Daphne has no prospects. Certainly not since her heart was broken by a rake. However, her parents still pressure her to secure a match—even amidst her sister’s wedding preparations.
Duke Victor has sworn off marriage, vowing never to become the monster his father was. Which is why he must stay away from the woman who haunts his dreams…
Forced to attend the same wedding, Daphne and Victor must behave around each other. Yet that only brings them closer, and now with each searing kiss, she yearns for the pleasure only he can deliver…

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