Duke of Cunning by Scarlett Osborne

“You were only meant to care for the child. Yet somehow, you have become the thought I can never silence… until you are mine.”

When a silent girl appears at his doorstep, Duke Ezra must stop his hunt for the man who destroyed his family. Now he must hire the one governess capable of helping her… and the only woman who tempts him beyond reason.
Desperate to earn money, Letitia cannot afford to lose another position. Too bad a dangerously handsome duke keeps interfering with her interviews… until she’s forced to work with him.
Ezra gives her one month to get answers from the child.
But as Letitia’s bond with the girl deepens, so does the forbidden tension between her and Ezra. One wrong step and desire could destroy everything she’s worked for… and she’s about to take it.

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