A Shrew for the Duke by Emma Linfield

“I am paying you to court her for my benefit, and you decide to go and fall for her instead?!”

Lady Catherine has sworn off gentlemen. A dedicated spinster, she keeps to her convictions even as her sister begs her to reconsider. After all, their father has declared it simply: No one can court Rose until Catherine herself is courted. And she will never let that happen…
Broke and desperate to keep his siblings out of trouble, Henry, the Duke of Crawford is forced to make a despicable deal to clear his father’s debt. Deceiving Lady Catherine sounds easy enough, though, even as it weighs heavy on his conscience.
He never counted on her being this difficult or charming. But the biggest surprise is how easy it was to fall for her. Staying is betrayal but leaving feels impossible. And when Catherine finally learns the truth, it will be far more than their connection on the line…
