When girl meets Duke, their marriage breaks all the rules

Since his return from war, the Duke of Ashburys to-do list has been short and anything but sweet: brooding, glowering, menacing London neer-do-wells by night. Now theres a new item on the list. He needs an heirwhich means he needs a wife. When Emma Gladstone, a vicars daughter turned seamstress, appears in his library wearing a wedding gown, he decides on the spot that shell 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 shes pregnant with his heir, they need never share a bed again.

But Emma is no pushover. She has a few rules of her own:

– They will have dinner together every evening.

– With conversation.

– And unlimited teasing.

– Last, and most importantly Once shes seen the man beneath the scars, he cant stop her from falling in love
