The Cruel Duke’s Bride by Tessa Brookman

A Duke seeking vengeance. A Lady who threatens to expose him. One fateful kiss.

Lady Amelia’s childhood was ruined when her father fell victim to the notorious ‘Masked Rogue’. Years later, on the balcony of the grand annual Stanhope ball, she finds herself face to face with the same man, and she seizes an opportunity of vengeance…
On the surface, Gideon is the esteemed Duke of Stanhope, but deep down, he harbors a dark secret: he is the infamous Masked Rogue of London. And his life takes a dramatic turn when Lady Amelia discovers his secret, threatening him with a dire choice: marry her or she will expose him…
Left with no alternative, Gideon devises a plan: to make Amelia uncomfortable enough with his intense advances that she’ll seek an annulment…
Unbeknownst to him, however, Amelia has her own reasons to remain married for at least 30 days, and she won’t give up so easily…
