The Devil's Own Duke

Miss Tessa Albright has to find a husband—fast--even though there’s no chance she’ll marry for love. After all, there’s only been one man for her…and he married her cousin. But as she prepares to enter a loveless marriage, the man she loves—now a widower--returns from his self-imposed exile, and she isn’t prepared for the man he’s become.

BRINGS A SECOND CHANCE AT LOVE

Chase Maddox, Duke of Greysmere, had his world implode when his wife and toddler son died. So he left England and tried desperately to overcome his grief. Now, three years later, he’s come home…for a while. But his plans to sell the estate, then leave England for good don’t go smoothly. He isn’t prepared for the ghosts that still haunt him. Nor does he realize how much he needs the help of an old friend, one who has grown into a much too beautiful woman in his absence.

Before long, Tessa and Chase find themselves in a rapidly changing situation—one that draws them closer, despite an uncertain future. Chase is more determined than ever to leave, but Tessa isn’t daunted. After all, the world might see Chase as the devil’s own duke, but she knows he’s always been hers…if she can only find a way to make him realize that.
