Helena has no intention of marrying. She has spent her life caring for her siblings, denying herself every thrill. Until she confronts a notorious rake and slaps him.
Duke Matteo finds the reaction utterly deserved. But provoking Helena is far too entertaining to abandon.
So before it turns into a scandal, he makes an infuriatingly clever proposal… To secure her sisters’ futures, Helena agrees to a fake courtship.
Yet she soon finds herself longing for the way Matteo lingers at her side. Even as she realizes the pretense may cost her heart when it ends.
