He can force her to marry, but her heart will never be his.
The duke is a man obsessed. From the moment Raff sets eyes on the fair-haired debutante with the angelic smile, he knows he must have her. And he has a plan. A way to cure himself of this tempting madness. He is a duke, after all. And she will be his.
Evangeline has plans of her own, however, and they dont call for an overwhelming brute who’s never heard the word no—until now. When she cant evade marriage, she makes a new vow. He may own her body, but hell never have her love.
But the duke is far more devious than shed thought. He doesn’t demand she submit. Oh no. It seems hes finally learned that there are some areas where his commands are futile. So he resorts to other methods instead. On their wedding night he vows hell make her beg for the pleasure only he can bring. And heaven help her if he isnt right. But its not just desire he stirs within her as they forge a truce of a marriage, its something far more dangerous. And in this battle of wills, she might just lose her heart.
