A marriage of convenience forces a powerful duke to choose between his ferocious pride and a love that melts his icy heart.
Reputation is everything in the ton. And no one's is more pristine than than that of Constantine Buccleigh, the Duke of Pryde. But when a blackmailer threatens to expose his devastating secret—and take everything Pryde has—he’s forced to marry Miss Modesty Fairchild, a woman far below his station.
A budding archeologist, Modesty would rather dig in the dirt than host a ball. But a deathbed promise has left her the guardian of an orphaned baby. She’ll do anything to protect her little ward…even accept the heartless duke’s offensive proposal.
Lonely in Pryde’s elegant Mayfair home, Modesty despises her cold husband, who expects her to become his perfect duchess. As dance lessons and etiquette tutorials force them together, she refuses to shrink under his iron control. And he resents her defiance. But with every act of rebellion, she chips away at his carefully crafted armor, revealing the isolated, broken man within.
Glimpsing the tender heart beneath her husband’s haughty exterior, Modesty begins to dream of a loving future.
But a villain in the shadows plots Pryde’s downfall. And as the Seven Dukes of Sin hunt for clues, the blackmailer raises the stakes.
Faced with a dreadful choice, will Constantine sacrifice his pride and his title for the wife and child he has come to treasure?
