I am a Duke. Im not asking you to marry me. I am offering to marry you. Its a different thing entirely.
When the Duke of Ashbury returns from war scarred, he realises he needs an heir which means he needs a wife! When Emma Gladstone, a vicar's daughter turned seamstress visits wearing a wedding dress, he decides on the spot that she'll do.
His terms are simple:
- They will be husband and wife by night only.
- No lights, no kissing.
- No questions about his battle scars.
- Last, and most importantly Once she's pregnant with his heir, they need never share a bed again.
But Emma is no pushover. She has secrets and some rules of her own:
- They will have dinner together every evening.
- With conversation.
- And teasing.
- Last, and most importantly Once she's seen the man beneath the scars, he can't stop her from falling in love
