The Rakish Duke and his Spinster by Tessa Brookman

“I am not covering you because I’m displeased. I am doing so to prevent myself from losing control.”

As a naive debutante, Lady Natalie was tricked by Duke Jasper, ruining her prospects of marriage. Now, doomed to be a spinster, her only way of experiencing the scandalous joys in life is through a bucket list. And the first item on the list? To kiss a gentleman, or more specifically, Duke Jasper, the man who no longer even remembers her…
Duke Jasper knows he will die soon. It’s a curse that runs in his family and a curse that has caused him to birth a dark secret: He is the Masked Rogue of London – a wanted rake that every woman desires. But when a lady shows up at his doorstep and asks to kiss him, she throws his simple life into disarray…
When Natalie accidentally uncovers his true identity as the Masked Rogue, she makes him a proposition: She will keep his identity a secret if he helps her complete her scandalous bucket list…
Unbeknownst to him, however, the final item on the list is: To ruin Duke Jasper’s reputation.
