She knows exactly which man she must never desire. Unfortunately, he is a duke.

In Regency London, reputation is everything—and one careless glance can become a scandal.

Miss Eleanor Vale has spent years carefully avoiding the gossip that destroyed her family's standing. She knows the rules of polite society, understands the dangers of an unguarded moment, and has no intention of becoming another woman's cautionary tale.

Then she meets the Duke of Ashbourne.

He is wealthy, powerful, notoriously difficult to impress, and surrounded by rumors that make respectable ladies keep their distance. Eleanor should certainly keep hers.

Instead, their encounters become increasingly impossible to explain.
nA private conversation lasts too long. A stolen dance attracts the wrong attention. A chance meeting at a country estate gives the gossipmongers exactly what they need. And when whispers begin circulating through London's drawing rooms, Eleanor discovers that the duke may be the only man capable of protecting her reputation—and the very man most likely to destroy it.

The more they resist their attraction, the more dangerous it becomes.

Because in a world where love can ruin a woman, desire can destroy a duke, and society never forgets a scandal, Eleanor must decide whether following her heart is worth risking everything she has left.

A passionate Regency romance of forbidden attraction, aristocratic scandal, dangerous secrets, and a duke who was never supposed to become the one man she could not resist.
