Tempting the Beastly Duke: A Steamy Historical Regency Romance Novel (Scandalous Dukes Book 2)
on Amazon
“He is the most feared duke in England.
She is the only woman unafraid to touch him.”
Five years ago, a fire turned Gideon, Duke of Montrose, into a legend whispered in terror, the Beast of Ironwood. Scarred, reclusive, and ruthlessly cold, he has shut himself away from society… and from desire itself.
Until Seraphina Vance arrives at his door.
Desperate to save her family from ruin, Seraphina makes a dangerous bargain:
Three months in Ironwood Hall.
Three months restoring the duke’s vast, neglected library.
In exchange, her brother’s debt is forgiven.
There is only one condition.
She must never touch him.
But rules are fragile things when temptation shares the same roof.
Gideon is darkness, restraint, and barely leashed hunger.
Seraphina is warmth, courage, and a defiance that awakens everything he has buried.
Every glance lingers. Every almost-touch burns. And every night brings them closer to a line neither can afford to cross.
Because the greatest danger in Ironwood Hall is not the Beast…
…it is the desire he can no longer control.
A scorching Regency romance featuring a scarred duke, forbidden proximity, and slow-burn tension that ignites into irresistible passion.
No cheating. No cliffhangers. Just a deeply satisfying happily ever after.
