But he noticed Miss Cotton. Particularly how she had the penchant to show up in places that she shouldn't be. There was something about her that spiked his intrigue... and suspicions.

Langley: The Duke and the Scandal
London doesn't ruin people with proof-it ruins them with whispers. Reginald, Duke of Ashburn, has survived society by mastering restraint: the careful smile, the measured distance, the discipline of stopping an inch short of disaster. But Josephine Langley has never been interested in being managed into silence. She meets the ton's cruelty with calm precision-and Reginald's composure with a ferocity that feels dangerously like home. One near-kiss on a terrace becomes a city-wide invention. Powerful men offer "solutions" dressed as protection: send Josephine away, restore the Duke's reputation, erase the inconvenient truth of them. Instead, Reginald does the unthinkable-he chooses her in daylight, openly, plainly, and without apology. But love is only the first battle. When Josephine uncovers a buried family crime-names, payments, and a legacy built on someone else's ruin-choosing each other means choosing something even more dangerous: the truth. With enemies circling, papers hungry for scandal, and their families poised to bury them both, Reginald and Josephine make a vow the ton can't edit: Careful first. Then brave. And always-together.Kumpleto
