The Duke of Devinscliffe is a man accustomed to getting what he wants-wealth, power, and, on occasion, a match of his choosing. But when a chance encounter brings the spirited younger sister of a long-lost acquaintance into his world, even his carefully ordered life begins to unravel.
What begins as a marriage of convenience was meant to be simple: duty over desire, alliance over affection. Yet her quiet wit, her unguarded heart, and the undeniable spark in her hazel eyes awaken a longing he had long since mastered.
In the glittering halls of London and beneath the watchful gaze of society, they play their parts as husband and wife. But passion has a way of breaking through the finest façades, and old secrets refuse to remain buried.
When the past comes calling and temptation threatens to undo them both, one truth becomes impossible to ignore-
the greatest risk a man can take is not at cards or in politics...
but in love.
