Duke with a Lie

USA Today bestselling author Scarlett Scott returns with a sinfully hot tale of a feisty lady determined to win her brother's best friend and the wicked duke who has vowed to never fall in love . . . As heartless as he is handsome, Aubrey Villiers, the Duke of Richford, has perfected the art of not caring one whit about anything except his pursuit of pleasure. His past is as dark as his moods, and the rumors about his curious carnal needs would make any proper innocent miss swoon. Lady Rhiannon Northwick, however, is anything but proper. And as for her innocence? She has a plan in mind to rid herself of that rather nettlesome inconvenience. Infiltrating the sinful house party hosted by her older brother is easy. Seducing his good friend, the brooding Duke of Richford, proves far more difficult. Although Richford may be a conscienceless rake, he isn’t about to deflower the stubborn hellion who tempts him at every turn, regardless of how badly he wants to. Rhiannon, who has long harbored a secret tendre for the duke, is equally determined to change his mind. Torn between his demons, his loyalties, and the last woman on earth he should desire, Richford is faced with an impossible choice—sever all ties with Rhiannon for her own sake, or risk the deadly past repeating itself once again. Heat level: Scorching hot! Don't say you weren't warned.
