But when Charlotte leaves for London to wed the Duke of Marchbourne, a perfect model of aristocratic propriety, their first encounters are brazenly flirtatious. March’s broad shoulders and dark countenance make her want to rip every button off his waistcoat. Yet whenever their desire boils over, he reluctantly pushes Charlotte away. Will secrets and misunderstandings mire their marriage in scandal or strengthen a bond that is destined to last a lifetime? WHEN THE DUCHESS SAID YES Notorious for her free-spirited antics, Lady Elizabeth Wylder is humiliated when her future husband, the Duke of Hawkesworth, fails to appear for their introduction.

But are endless nights of sensual discovery enough to persuade the rakish duke to give his heart completely?

Book excerpt: The infamous rake, Lord Richard Hamilton, has finally chosen his bride-the very appropriate Miss Emma Grey. The ton approves, Lord Grey is pleased, Lady Grey delighted, and Emma is over the moon, but her uncle, (the blasted) Duke of Arden opposes the match, and Emma is ordered to move to the duke's estate to think things over. Richard Hamilton refuses to take things lying down and concocts a plan. A plan that should have brought the lovers together and had them married within a month. It was a simple matter of masquerading as the duke's gardener, compromising the lady, and then having the duke rush them off to Gretna Green. Alas, he underestimates the duke's intelligence and the tangled situation on the estate-never had he imagined that compromising a lady could be so difficult. His endeavours lead to a comedy of errors, charades, and knotty love affairs. Yet he forges ahead in spite of pesky house guests, a flea bitten mattress, his lovesick best friend, and a blackmailer. Just when things seem to be going well, someone is murdered (very inconvenient), and he happens to be one of the suspects (extremely inconvenient). His simple plan for winning the wager suddenly becomes ... a tad complicated.
