🔥 A Scandalous Widow. A Roughened Duke. A Shocking Secret That Could Destroy Them. 🔥
Aurora Sefton, Lady Sheffield, has no interest in marriage—not after finally tasting freedom, wealth, and pleasure on her own terms. But when her niece begs a favor, she finds herself in the most infuriating, impossible predicamentof all: transforming a brawling, rough-hewn commoner-turned-Duke into a man fit for London’s glittering ballrooms.
Gavin Barreton never wanted a title, a tutor, or a place in high society—but what he does want is Aurora. Her cutting wit, her bold independence, and the undeniable heat that sparks between them. And when proper lessons turn into improper propositions, he’s determined to make her his—not as his tutor, but as his duchess.
But just as their slow-burn passion ignites into something undeniable, a woman from Gavin’s past emerges with a shocking claim that threatens to destroy everything. Is Aurora willing to risk her heart for a love that defies all expectations? Or will society—and the ghosts of the past—tear them apart forever?
💋 Opposites attract, society gossips, and scandal reigns in this steamy, high-stakes romance—perfect for fans of Lisa Kleypas, Sarah MacLean, and Kerrigan Byrne.
