Of all the dukes in England, why must it be him?
Lady Alice Ancaster needs to marry—immediately. Her brother’s recklessness risks everything, including their title and fortune. If he dies in a duel, their despicable cousin inherits the dukedom… and Alice’s freedom.
Enter the infuriating Duke of Blackwood: her brother’s best friend, her childhood confidant, and the man who once broke her heart. Years ago, he chose wild living over a future with Alice. Now, he’s back—brooding, brilliant, inconveniently heroic—and determined to help.
Their past crackles with regret. Their present sizzles with longing. But trust doesn’t come easy, and time is running out.
Alice must decide: can she risk her heart a second time on the man who once shattered it?
Because love might be inconvenient—but it’s impossible to ignore.
