Duke of Debauchery by Scarlett Scott
He’s notoriously wicked. She’s a wallflower guarding her heart.
The Duke of Montrose has perfected the art of being a scoundrel. Mistresses? He’s had an endless procession of them. Gin-soaked nights? He’s experienced more than he can count. He’ll do anything to distract himself from the demons of his past. Until the day his devil-may-care ways leave his best friend gravely injured. Now, he’s determined to make amends at any cost. Fortunately, he knows just where to begin.
The Honorable Miss Hattie Lethbridge is quite happy being a wallflower, thank you very much. She would far prefer to spend an evening curled up with her cat than whirling about a ballroom. When her brother’s scapegrace friend, the Duke of Montrose, proposes they marry, she is equally determined to refuse his suit.
The more she denies him, the more resolute Monty is that Hattie must be his. Much to her dismay, Hattie finds herself warming to the wickedest duke in London. But Monty is keeping dangerous secrets, and when Hattie discovers what he’s been hiding, any hope for a future together may be forever lost.

Duke of Debauchery, Book 5 of the Sins and Scoundrels series, was about the Honorable Miss Harriet "Hattie" Lethbridge, the younger sister of Viscount Torrington, and His Grace Ewan Christopher "Monty" Hamilton, the Duke of Montrose and best friend to Hattie's brother, Viscount Torrington. Driven by the demons of his past, Monty spent years over-indulging drink, women, and all manner of reckless behavior. Having raced his best friend, Viscount Torrington, while they were both in drunken stupors, they were both injured. Monty suffered a broken ankle, but "Torrie" suffered a serious head wound that took his memories from him. Sadly, the broken ankle led Monty to a new vise...an addiction to laudanum. Determined to pay a debt of honor in recompense to Hattie's brother, Monty was determined to marry her. She was just as certain she would not marry such a libertine. The two of them battled back and forth, each resolved to make their position clear to the other that what they wanted is what they would get. Hattie had been in love with Monty ever since she had met him and he was just the Marquess of Ashby. However, he had never paid her any attention and, on top of that, he was, and had always been, a rogue of the worst quality. To give in to his constant pressure to marry him would be folly, for she did not trust him to remain faithful...or even sober. While the storyline was a bit slow to develop, it was still a decent book. Definitely not one of my favorites in the series as Monty proved to be a scoundrel of the worst kind. However, the reasoning behind that was heartbreaking and a bit understandable. Monty was a man driven by self-loathing and disgust. The angst and drama were super high in this one, with little to no humor to help smooth out the rough edges of tension...and oh was there tension. The attraction and passion were undeniably strong between Hattie and Monty. The gamut of emotions filled each page to overflowing. A decent, but a heart-wrenching book, for sure. Worthy of a four-star rating.
