Description
When girl meets Duke, their marriage breaks all the rules…
Since his return from war, the Duke of Ashbury’s to-do list has been short and anything but sweet: brooding, glowering, menacing London ne’er-do-wells by night. Now there’s a new item on the list. He needs an heir—which means he needs a wife. When Emma Gladstone, a vicar’s daughter turned seamstress, appears in his library wearing a wedding gown, he decides on the spot that she’ll do.
His terms are simple:
- They will be husband and wife by night only.
- No lights, no kissing.
- No questions about his battle scars.
- Last, and most importantly… Once she’s pregnant with his heir, they need never share a bed again.
But Emma is no pushover. She has a few rules of her own:
- They will have dinner together every evening.
- With conversation.
- And unlimited teasing.
- Last, and most importantly… Once she’s seen the man beneath the scars, he can’t stop her from falling in love…
Reviews
The duke is a jerk
2By a respectful readerA nasty piece of work..the duke is si mean, there isn’t any chance if real transformation…A great romance novel
5By 207KellIt has a bit of everything we love in a romance novel. It's well written, well-paced, restrained where needed. Full-on when appropriate. One of the better ones.Amazing

5By CRose1954I really enjoyed this book! Loved the characters and the storyline!!I was charmed by the seamstress
4By RoadrunnerReaderShe introduces us to a bunch of spinsters, but I just adored the plucky seamstress. Khan fills the duke in near the end of the various cads who have been through Emma’s life. She’s a vicar’s daughter, but she doesn’t understand how things work. She keeps trying to get Davina somewhere safe with an intact reputation, and it’s very stupid that Davina’s father wants to withhold his permission and ruin his daughter. They refuse to tell Davina’s dad what’s happening.Buy this book !
5By Rachel707Loved this book ! Perfect amount of romance , sex and whit !Pleasant Read
4By Nessland10I've been on a historical novel kick this year and this was my first Tessa Dare novel, and I was pleasantly surprised. Yes, the dialogue isn't very Regency and there is the inaccuracy of the societal rules of the time, but the banter between the main characters was entertaining enough that I let it slide. The pacing was good, and it allowed me to enjoy the novel from beginning to end. So if you're looking for an enjoyable and feel-good novel this is it.LOVED LOVED LOVED!
