A witty, wicked, and wildly romantic Regency romance. Lady Verity Hawthorne has one week to save her crumbling estate—and her pride. The plan? Host the grandest house party of the Season and charm a wealthy duke into marriage. Preferably one who isn’t England’s most notorious scoundrel. But when the new stablehand turns out to be none other than Ash Calder, the Duke of Quelston, her long-time nemesis and the man who once broke her heart, Verity’s carefully laid schemes start to unravel faster than a ribbon at a scandalous soiree. He’s undercover to uncover corruption. She doesn't recognize him. But beneath their sparring glances and stolen kisses, a far more dangerous truth ignites—one that could ruin them both… or remake them entirely. In a battle of pride, passion, and perilous secrets, will Verity risk her heart again for the rogue duke she swore to despise?
