"He offered marriage to settle a debt. She accepted… on one scandalous condition."
Miss Marietta Potter has slapped a stranger in the middle of a London market. Unfortunately, the stranger is Elliot Marchetti, the Duke of Wyndham, the coldest, most untouchable gentleman in England.
More unfortunately still, three days later her ruined father announces she is to marry him.
The Wyndham fortune owes her family a debt that can never truly be repaid, and the Ice Duke intends to settle it at the altar. Marietta cannot refuse, the bailiffs come Friday. But she can set her own terms. So she marches into his study, looks the most feared man in London in the eye, and demands the one thing no proper lady would dare ask of her husband:
"I expect to be satisfied."
He accepts. Every condition. And he keeps his promises… every single one.
But melting a duke is dangerous work. Behind Elliot's frozen composure is a man taught from boyhood that feeling is failure, and someone close to him is determined to keep it that way. As whispers reach the scandal sheets and a serpent smiles at their own table, Marietta must decide how hard she'll fight for a husband who burns for her at night and turns to ice by morning.
She slapped a duke once.
She's not afraid to fight for him now.
