Caught By the Ruthless Duke by Ava MacAdams

“So quiet now, wife… I wonder where else I should touch to tame that sharp tongue of yours.”

Lady Cressida must save her best friend now. Which means crashing her wedding to the most notorious rake in the ton. But before she breaches the church, a dangerously handsome man blocks her path.
Duke Theodore won’t let the meddling hellion ruin his friend’s wedding. Even if he must drag Cressida away. Yet after they’re discovered alone, Theodore knows marriage is the only solution.
As his wife, Theodore must ensure she obeys. And he knows exactly how to turn her defiance into dark, breathless desire… until she’s begging for more.

*If you like a realistic yet steamy depiction of the Regency and Victorian era, then Caught by the Ruthless Duke is the novel for you.
