How to Win a Duke's Heart

What happens when a marriage of convenience becomes anything but convenient?

Sophronie Slater has no intention of falling in love—especially not with the infuriatingly stubborn Duke of Waycross. But she'd do anything for her ailing father, including honoring his final wish: she marry the very man she can't stand. The arrangement is temporary. Strictly practical. Completely devoid of emotion. At least, that's what she keeps telling herself.

Evan Gordonstone never imagined marriage would be part of his plans—until Sophronie becomes the only answer to a tangle of financial and familial obligations. Her dowry could save his struggling duchy and fund his dream of breeding championship horses. All he has to do is keep things civil, avoid falling for his whip-smart, maddeningly beautiful wife… and pray she doesn't break his heart.

Their reluctant union soon gives way to unexpected passion and deeper feelings neither dare admit. But when practicality turns to longing, and trust gives way to something dangerously close to love, they must decide if this mismatched marriage of convenience has become the fairy tale they never thought they'd find.
