Duke of My Heart

From the RITA award–winning author, a nobleman hoping to avert a scandal turns to an unconventional beauty in this "wonderful" Regency romance (Sarah MacLean, New York Times–bestselling author).

Scandal can be handled . . .

Captain Maximus Harcourt, the unconventional tenth Duke of Alderidge, can deal with tropical storms, raging seas, and the fiercest of pirates. But he's returned home from his latest voyage to find a naked earl - quite inconveniently deceased—tied to his missing sister's bed. And he has only one place to turn. Now he's at the mercy of the captivating Miss Ivory Moore of Chegarre & Associates, known throughout London for smoothing over the most dire of scandals.

Miss Moore treats the crisis as though it were no more serious than a cup of spilt tea on an expensive rug. As though this sort of thing happened on the job every day. Max has never in all his life met a woman with such nerve. Her dark eyes are too wide, her mouth is too full, her cheekbones too sharp. Yet together, she's somehow . . .flawless. It's just like his love for her, imperfect, unexpected —yet absolutely true.
