He is cold. Unapproachable. Grim.
And she just said ‘I will’ to him.
Miss Henrietta Bellinger cannot have children and is facing financial ruin. Nevertheless, she accepts an invitation to her dearest friend’s wedding.
But when she arrives in the deepest moor of Yorkshire, her friend has fled, and the prospective groom has also disappeared.
All Henrietta finds is a lonely, abandoned wedding gown on the bed.
She succumbs to temptation and slips into the dress. No one will ever know.
No one except the Nightmare Duke, who suddenly stands in the doorway behind her.
To avoid a scandal, the Duke proposes a shocking bargain: if she marries him, he will provide for her in comfort and security for the rest of his life.
Just moments ago, she was the mouse-grey Miss Bellinger.
Now she is the Duchess of Blackburrow.
The Duke has saved her from destitution, yet now she is bound in marriage to the man she detests above all others. Of course, he expects her to give him an heir, and he visits her bedchamber night after night. How can she make him understand… she can never give him a child?
