The Duke's Indecent Bargain

Clara Whitmore knows exactly what she's worth. Unfortunately, so does everyone else.

At twenty-eight, the wealthy timber heiress has spent her life balancing accounts, managing men, and watching society decide her future without consulting her. When her uncle begins arranging a marriage that would return her fortune to the family business, Clara decides to negotiate a better offer.

The Duke of Wychcombe needs sixty thousand pounds. Clara has sixty thousand pounds. What she wants in return is considerably more complicated.

Seven articles. A marriage of convenience. Complete control over her remaining fortune. A school for girls. And a bedroom door that opens only from her side.

Adrian Vale has spent eleven years carrying the debts of his ancestors and the expectations of an entire estate. He can manage four hundred tenants, a crumbling mansion, and a family determined to preserve appearances at any cost. What he cannot manage is the extraordinary woman who arrives with a solicitor, an ink-stained finger, and absolutely no intention of behaving like a conventional duchess.

Their carefully negotiated marriage soon becomes anything but convenient. Behind closed doors, Clara discovers a husband whose restraint conceals an astonishing appetite, while Adrian learns that surrendering control might be the most dangerous pleasure of all.

But when an old debt threatens everything Clara has begun to build, the secrets Adrian keeps to protect her may destroy the one thing money cannot restore: her trust.

In a world where every marriage has its price, two people must discover what it means to love without keeping score.

A scorching, emotionally rich Regency romance featuring a fiercely independent heroine, a guarded duke, marriage-of-convenience tension, sharp wit, and a happily-ever-after worth every penny.
