The #1 Rule among gentlemen: sisters are off-limits...rules however, are meant to be broken.
Lady Opal Carmichael is a wild-spirited hoyden with a love for books, and absolutely zero interest in marrying a duke. Being the daughter of a ruthless duke, she knows firsthand to steer clear of those powerful peers. Opal can, however make an exception for one duke—Lockwood “Locke” Renwick, the Duke of Strathearn. She’s loved him forever. And with his winter, house-party, approaching, she intends to make him fall in love with her.
There’s just one small problem—Locke is England’s wickedest rogue, a consummate bachelor, and also her brother-in-law’s best friend.
Lockwood Renwick, the Duke of Strathearn answers to no man. He lives only for his own pleasures and pursuits. Among Strathearn’s favorite? Spending nights with London’s most skilled, lusty, widows and unhappily married women.
When he agrees to host a house party in honor of his best friend’s, little sister-in-law, it isn’t long before Strathearn finds himself dangerously tempted by the forbidden—an innocent, exquisitely breathtaking, and all grown-up, Lady Opal. As a duke he’s never been denied.
Now, Strathearn finds himself fighting a battle between the gentlemanly code of friendship that marks the young woman off-limits—and his all-powerful desire for Opal.
