Rogue for the Taking

A lady bent on seduction... Lady Othelia Grantham, married the earl of Brighton, a man many years her senior, to save her family from financial ruin. The earl was pleasant, but no sparks existed between them. Now that Othelia is a widow, she vows to live life on her terms. Priority one-Never marry again. Priority number two-experience passion. She sets her sights on the 9th Duke of Ashbrook. He is the perfect scoundrel to indulge her desire and carries no risk of marriage. A rogue bent on reform... Alister Brinsley-Radclyffe, Duke of Ashbrook, needs a duchess. A feat that should be easily accomplished by a duke, but even his title is not enough to redeem him from the reputation he's built for indulging in sin. When a respectable young widow approaches him with a scandalous request, he cannot refuse. She may be his last chance to save his estates. He will teach lady Brighton about passion, and in doing so, he will capture her heart and fortune. Only one can win... If Othelia falls for the duke, she will lose control of her fortune and her freedom. If Alister cannot capture Lady Othelia's hand in marriage, his legacy will be left in ruins. When true love blossoms, they find themselves at the edge of duty and desire. Only one question remains, who will come out the victor?
