A Bargain with the Devil Duke: A Historical Steamy Regency Romance Novel (Dangerous Gentlemen Book 2)

“He needed a wife by Friday and she needed one night. Neither of them planned to fall.”

Jayden Preston, the fifth Duke of Ravenhurst, has perfected the art of feeling nothing. London calls him the Devil Duke, sinner, seducer, breaker of hearts and conventions alike, and he has never once corrected them. Then a solicitor arrives at midnight with a copper-haired little girl who has his eyes, and the carefully ruined life he’s built comes crashing down. His grandmother’s terms are simple; marry respectably in six weeks, or watch his daughter pay for his sins.

There is exactly one woman in London with hair the right shade of scandal-concealing flame.

Vivienne, Dowager Marchioness of Vaughn, buried a husband who spent five years making her small, and she will never belong to a man again. She wants one thing from the Devil Duke, and it isn’t his name. It’s a single night, on her terms, taken and not given. So when he answers her wicked proposition with an offer of marriage, she should laugh in his beautiful, calculating face.

Instead, she says yes.

It’s only a bargain. Separate rooms, protected fortune, no tender feelings, just a convenient duchess, a borrowed shade of copper, and a contract neither intends to break.

But contracts say nothing about the way he looks at her in the dark. Or the small, fierce child learning to call her Mama. Or the dangerous, undoing truth that the rake who feels nothing has begun to feel everything, for the one woman determined never to be caught again.

A marriage of convenience was supposed to be safe.

This one is going to ruin them both.

A heartfelt slow-burn steamy romance about learning to trust again, finding comfort where you least expect it, and falling for the one person who truly sees beyond your defenses. Perfect for readers who love emotionally rich, Beauty and the Beast–inspired love stories.

Blending sparkling banter, irresistible chemistry, and deeply tender moments, this captivating historical romance delivers a love story that will stay in your heart long after the last page.

No cheating. No cliffhangers. Just a wonderfully satisfying happily ever after.
