Her Perfect Life
Two years ago, Lady Amelia Harrington escaped a living hell. After surviving a brutal marriage, she was left with pale, silvery scars and two beautiful daughters to protect. She has vowed never to let another man touch her heart or control her life again. All she wants is to slip quietly into the background of the Ton and find her own version of peace.
Enter Simon Anderson, the Duke of Clyvedon. Officially dubbed London's most notorious "Certified Rake" by Lady Ravenscroft's Society Papers, Simon has zero intention of ever settling down. But when his mother forces him onto the marriage mart to protect his sisters' reputations, he has to play the part of a reformed bachelor.
Neither was looking for love. Amelia is guarded by her trauma, and Simon is fiercely protective of his freedom.
But a glittering ballroom is a dangerous place. When the fragile widow and the devastatingly handsome Duke are caught in a scandalous, highly compromising situation, the rumor mills explode. With their reputations on the line and society demanding honor, they are forced into the ultimate trap: marriage.
Can a notorious rake heal the deep-seated fears of a broken woman? Or will the ghosts of Amelia's past tear apart their forced union before it even begins?
