What Would a Duke Do‪?‬

He planned to use her for revenge… he never meant to fall in love.

Maxwell, Duke of Pennington, lives for one purpose—vengeance. Years ago, the Breckensole name destroyed everything he held dear. Now, he intends to even the score by claiming Gabriella Breckensole as his bride… whether she consents or not. Marrying his enemy's granddaughter is the perfect strategy. But the more time he spends with the spirited, captivating young woman, the more uncertain he becomes of the price his retribution may cost.

Gabriella has never understood her family's scandalous past—nor why the dashing Duke of Pennington suddenly directs his attention toward her. Flattered and flustered, she soon finds herself enchanted by his wit, captivated by his kisses, and dangerously close to surrendering her heart. Until a cruel twist of fate reveals the truth behind Max's intentions—and the betrayal that shatters everything between them.

Torn between duty and desire, guilt and longing, Max must make an impossible decision: pursue the revenge that's ruled his life, or risk everything for a chance at love with the one woman he was never meant to have.
