Now Maitland must save the woman who sets his heart aflame-or die trying. But being one of the Libertine Scholars requires constant vigilance, even more so when the enemy with a grudge against his closest friends targets Marisa. In retrospect, it seems quite silly that he didn’t marry sooner. Marisa’s hot-blooded spirit, however, does have its attractions-especially at night. Taught from a young age to take duty seriously, Maitland cannot understand his new wife’s demands on his love and affection. But on her wedding night, Marisa discovers the one place the duke shows emotion: in the bedroom, where the man positively scorches the sheets. As a compromised woman, Marisa agrees to marry Maitland. Lady Marisa Hawkestone’s nightmare is just beginning when she wakes up naked, with no memory of the night before, lying next to Maitland Spencer, the Duke of Lyttleton-a man so aloof and rational he’s nicknamed “the Cold Duke.” A scandal ensues, in which Marisa’s beloved beau deserts her.
Sensual heat melts the ice in the new Disgraced Lords novel from USA Today bestselling author Bronwen Evans, as a marriage of convenience leads to delightful pleasure-and mortal danger.
