Taming the Wild Duke by Patricia Haverton

“You don’t have to trust me to marry me, darling…”

Lilian despises rakes more than anything. Especially someone like the arrogant, smug, charming scoundrel around her little sister!
Duke Simon’s first priority is fixing his reputation. So when he sees Lilian’s flustered, blushing reaction to him, he knows she is the perfect candidate to help him restore it… By becoming his Duchess.
Lilian is furious at his proposal, yet his plan makes sense. She is safe and he is reformed in the eyes of the ton. But when her new husband sets her heart ablaze she is torn. Because she knows better than to trust a rake…
