A steamy Christmas novella from a USA Today Bestselling Author! A Scrooge of a Duke bound by duty, responsibility, and a vow to his grandfather... A merry lady who entered into a marriage of convenience with her secret crush... Can this unlikely pair find their happily ever after? Eleanor Slade, the Duchess of Rothbury, was certain marrying her secret crush would be the start to a future filled with love. But her new husband is taking the definition of a marriage of convenience to another level. His focus on duty is legendary and apparently he doesn’t intend for a wife to change that, no matter how much she longs to. Douglas Slade, the 9th Duke of Rothbury, was taught at his grandfather’s knee that honor and responsibility are all that matter. Especially after Douglas’s lovesick father attempted to bleed the estates dry to please his wife. Now that his family is gone, it’s up to Douglas to restore the duchy and care for those who depend on him. Never mind that Eleanor is everything a man could want in a wife—beautiful, intelligent, and so desirable. He only needs her money and an heir, not her love. But that lie is becoming more and more difficult to believe when her enchanting kisses warm his cold heart. A house party at Christmas is Eleanor’s last hope. Can she convince Douglas that love will make them stronger and they’re better together? Order your copy today!
