To Wed a Rakish Duke

(2026)
(The sixth book in the Affairs of Honor series)
A novel by

 
 
A sharp-tongued spinster. A notorious duke. One chance rescue is more than enough... and a battle neither of them is willing to lose.’

Elizabeth Spencer has survived the ton’s cruelty for years with one weapon: her wit.

They call her the Spinster Scorpion, poor, proud, and far too difficult to be pitied… or pursued.
And Elizabeth prefers it that way.


Until Connor Merrick, the Duke of Stonefield, makes the unforgivable mistake of assuming she is just another pretty woman he’s already forgotten.

Twice.

Now Connor is determined to prove he isn’t the careless rake Elizabeth believes him to be.
But winning Elizabeth Spencer will take far more than charm, wealth, or a title.


Because Elizabeth doesn’t want his attention.
She doesn’t want his help.
And she certainly doesn’t want the dangerous heat that sparks every time he looks at her like she matters.


But when the Season closes in, scandal begins to circle, and Elizabeth’s secrets threaten to unravel,

Connor is forced to choose between
the life he’s always lived…
…and the woman who refuses to be saved.


A deliciously sharp Regency enemies-to-lovers romance filled with banter, longing, forced proximity, and a rake duke who falls first, and falls hard.

No cliffhangers, and a guaranteed happily ever after. A tender, slow-burning story of healing, courage, and the woman who dared to wait for the thaw.
If you like the Regency and Victorian era, this novel is for you.
