A fierce single mother and a brooding aristocrat collide in this high-stakes Regency romance that perfectly balances emotional depth with sharp, addictive banter. It is a fresh, holiday-set enemies-to-lovers story primed to capture the massive readership looking for their next historical romance obsession.

A reckless duke, a defiant widow, and a scandalous proposition that could ruin them both.

Leland Warrington, the Duke of Ware, has everything a man could want except the one thing he desperately needs: an heir. Haunted by past tragedies, he turns to the most unlikely solution. He intends to claim his late cousin's twin boys as his own.

Graceanne Beckwith will not let anyone take her sons. Trapped under the roof of her strict father, she has fought to protect her boys from a world that offers them nothing. When the imposing Duke arrives at their humble vicarage, she expects a tyrant. She certainly does not expect the rush of heat that flares between them.
