USA Today bestselling author Loretta Chase continues her Difficult Dukes series with this charming brotherтАЩs best friend second-chance historical romance.
Of all the dukes in all the world, why does it have to be him?
Lady Alice Ancaster needs a husband, and fast, because her reckless brother is going to get himself killed, leaving the dukedomтАФand her futureтАФin their repellent cousinтАЩs clutches.
The Duke of Blackwood has known Alice since childhood, and theyтАЩve always had a special connection. But years ago he broke it, when he chose a riotous life with his two best friends instead of a reasonable one with her.
The trouble is, the tall, dark, sardonic rogue keeps turning up exactly when needed, and readyтАФthough he sometimes needs a pushтАФto play the hero, if only for as long as it takes.
Being irresistibly drawn to the Wrong Man is not convenient, but when events come to a crisis, Alice has to make a choice. The question is, can she live with it?
