Forced into marriage by duty and obligation, The Duke and Duchess of Rothbury parted ways a week after saying their vows under the explicit understanding that theirs was a marriage in name only. There would be no expectations of love, fidelity, or romance. The Duke hates the American Heiress who married him only for his title, completely unaffected by the senseless tragedy that had made their marriage necessary in the first place. When an illness forces him to retire to the country, he makes sure to choose the property where his wife wouldn't be. Except that she is, and she is still as insufferable as ever. The Duchess resents the man who killed her youthful dreams of love and abandoned her to live his bachelor life unencumbered. When she is jilted by her lover, and faced with inevitable ridicule, she decides to retire to her beloved estate in Cornwall, where she runs an orphanage. Never once does she expect to run into her cold, selfish, insufferable arse of a husband! Forced into each other's company by circumstance, the couple begin to unravel their individual prejudices. Resentment turns into respect and friendship. Respect and friendship soon turn into attraction and affection. Was love closer than either one of them could ever have imagined? And that begged the question; can the Duke win his wife's favor, or is it far too late to make their marriage a love match? Cover by MuniWilliams.

It's hard enough being the only human on this alien planet with no memory of how I got here. I have no business being imprisoned by a military Captain. But here I am, handcuffed for weeks to a brooding, powerful warrior that's convinced I'm a spy. I've been a servant at the Captain's camp for months-cooking, cleaning, and living peacefully. When his tent catches fire, and I'm accused of spying, I'm taken as his prisoner. I don't know how I'll survive eating, bathing, and sharing a bed with the intense man for weeks. If the war raging across the planet doesn't kill me, the building tension between the Captain and me will do the trick. *This is a sample.
