Married to the Duke by Midnight

They intended to marry for convenience. Love was never part of the contract.

Jo needs a husband — immediately. If she is not wed by midnight, her greedy cousin will gain control of her inheritance and sell the seaside cottage she refuses to lose. So, she does the only logical thing. She proposes.

At the final ball of the season, Jo approaches Robert, Duke of Riddlesmarsh — a man she has never spoken to — and offers him a carefully drafted contract outlining the precise terms of their marriage. Robert never expected to wed a stranger. Still nursing a broken heart, he has no desire for romance. But Jo’s boldness — and her meticulous conditions — intrigue him.

By midnight, they are husband and wife. What they did not account for was attraction.

As meddling relatives interfere, Jo’s furious cousin schemes, and their strictly negotiated boundaries begin to blur, their tidy arrangement grows dangerously complicated.

Because when a duke decides to protect what is his, he does not do so by halves.

And neither of them is prepared for just how binding desire can be.

Married to the Duke by Midnight is a steamy Regency marriage-of-convenience romance featuring a pragmatic heroine, a wounded duke, high inheritance stakes, meddling family, and open-door passion.
