Duke with a Reputation

From USA Today bestselling author Scarlett Scott comes a scorching-hot enemies-to-lovers romance between a single dad duke and the fiercely independent countess who has vowed to guard her heart at all costs... The Duke of Brandon is London's most infamous rake. But his world crashes to a decided halt when the sins of his past come back to haunt him in the form of one small she-devil of a child who has green eyes just like his. To make matters worse, his disapproving grandmother has decided he must marry or forfeit his inheritance. Now, he has no choice but to raise a daughter, find a suitable wife, and keep his harridan grandmother from discovering his sordid secrets as founder of the Wicked Dukes Society. So when the tempting, fiery-haired Countess of Grenfell propositions him, he offers her something else instead-a marriage of convenience. Lottie, Countess of Grenfell, is London's most notorious widow. Her doomed, one-sided marriage left her with a broken heart and a determination never to wed again. What she wants is simple-passion, independence, and one night in the Duke of Brandon's bed. Or in his scandalous chair. Perhaps even against a wall. She wouldn't marry him, however, if he were the last man on earth. Brandon is quickly running out of time. He must persuade Lottie to become his duchess with all haste or risk losing everything. As he sets out to seduce her into marriage, he's shocked to realize he's done the one thing he previously believed himself incapable of along the way-he's fallen in love. But Lottie's bruised and battered heart is more guarded than his, and she has vowed never to allow another man to hurt her again. Heat level: Scorching hot! Don't say you weren't warned.
