Lady Kathryn Bellamy has spent the last five years wrecking every alliance she once had, and her latest stunt has left her cut off from friends and family.
Gerrit van Draak, the fifth Duke of Dulverton, does not love his orderly, manageable life, but it is one he can control until Kathryn arrives and dismantles the defenses he spent decades constructing.
Society calls him dull behind his back, yet Katie finds him the first man in five years to stir genuine fascination and desire.
After a hasty marriage of convenience, she cannot tell what her new husband thinks of her, of their arrangement, or of the bargain that forbids them to fall in love.
The more time she spends with Dulverton, the more inconvenient that agreement becomes, and the more determined she is to break it.
