A Spinster for the Cold Duke by Daphne Byrne

“Do you wish to see what I’m capable of, my lady? To have you trembling, gasping my name in surrender?”

Duke Henry has one unwavering priority: his daughter. So when he discovers the teenager at a questionable book club, reading an inappropriate novel, he demands consequences.
For spinster Lady Annabelle, the book club is her only sanctuary. She won’t let an infuriatingly proper duke destroy it. So, she offers a trade: let the Athena Society be, and her grandmother will give his daughter lessons in propriety.
But with each lesson, Henry finds himself drawn to Annabelle’s defiance. And soon, he burns to break every rule he’s ever lived by… and make her whisper his name in surrender…

*If you like a realistic yet steamy depiction of the Regency and Victorian era, then A Spinster for the Cold Duke is the novel for you.
