From USA Today bestselling author Scarlett Scott comes a scorching, angsty second chance romance between a scorned duchess and the duke who won't let her go . . .
Everett Saunders, Duke of Riverdale, found the perfect duchess. One who would grant him an heir and a spare and rusticate quietly at his estate, allowing him to carry on with his life of debauchery. At least, that was the woman he thought he'd married. Instead, he unwittingly leg-shackled himself to a cunning, faithless liar. The only solution to his woes is abandoning the conniving baggage and simply carrying on as if he doesn't have a wife at all.
Nothing in her life has ever gone according to plan, and her hasty marriage is no different. But Sybil, Duchess of Riverdale, isn't about to meekly allow her rakehell husband to abandon her and go on with his life. When her letters to him remain unanswered, she takes matters into her own hands, determined to obtain a divorce by any means, fair or foul.
Riverdale, however, is unwilling to let her go unless she gives him an heir. Sybil has no choice but to accept the sinful arrangement proposed by her husband. She'll submit to his desires in the bedchamber, but he'll never again have the power to break her heart. All she has to do is keep herself from falling back in love with the merciless rogue she married.
