A BRAND NEW deliciously spicy, Regency romance from Emma Orchard, perfect for fans of Eloisa James and Bridgerton

England, 1802. A duke who has sworn never to lose control is about to meet the one woman who can make him forget everything...

Rémy Temple Wylde has spent ten years believing his mother dead. So when she returns from France with the formidable Maryse De Comarque at her side, Rémy is stunned – and deeply in Maryse’s debt.

Penniless and determined to protect the family she risked everything to save, Maryse needs security. Rémy doesn't think he needs a duchess, least of all Maryse, but honour demands he offers for her, much against his will. What neither expects is the fierce attraction between them – or how quickly their carefully negotiated arrangement will become dangerously real.

Because Maryse survived the darkest days of the French Revolution, and she has secrets even Rémy cannot know. As the past follows them to London, threatening scandal and heartbreak, can two people who have learnt never to trust surrender to the one thing neither bargained for? Love.
