Since his return from war, the Duke of Ashburyโs to-do list has been short and anything but sweet: brooding, glowering, menacing London neโer-do-wells by night. Now thereโs a new item on the list. He needs an heirโwhich means he needs a wife. When Emma Gladstone, a vicarโs daughter turned seamstress, appears in his library wearing a wedding gown, he decides on the spot that sheโll do.
His terms are simple:
- They will be husband and wife by night only.
- No lights, no kissing.ย
- No questions about his battle scars.
- Last, and most importantlyโฆ Once sheโs pregnant with his heir, they need never share a bed again.
But Emma is no pushover. She has a few rules of her own:
- They will have dinner together every evening.
- With conversation.
- And unlimited teasing.
- Last, and most importantlyโฆ Once sheโs seen the man beneath the scars, he canโt stop her from falling in loveโฆ
