Claimed By Her Forbidden Duke by Ava MacAdams

“Run along, little dove. You are a good girl, I can see that. But good girls are always the most wicked when no one is watching.”

Sheltered Lady Penelope never meant to visit a male escort. But just as she reaches the scandalous door, disaster strikes: she’s caught by her stepbrother’s infuriatingly handsome friend.
Hunting the man who tore his life apart, Duke Edmund has no time for distractions. But Penelope—too innocent, too curious, too tempting—keeps crossing his path.
He must have her. He doesn’t deserve her. Yet one forbidden kiss shatters all his control—because he was never meant to touch her… let alone ruin her completely.

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