Her Duke in the Dark by Olivia T. Bennet

“You walked into my room, my lady. You cannot be surprised that I intend to taste you.”

Lavinia is done being a spinster. Her parents’ house party is her last chance to find a love match. Instead, she stumbles into the bedchamber of the worst rake of them all…
Duke Peter refuses to be trapped in a scandal. Only, the little minx in his room isn’t after him. She’s running from another. Amused when she argues despite trembling beneath his touch, he decides to help her… for now.
Lavinia knows this reckless moment will end with the house party. But when Peter finally kisses her, it feels less like the claim of a rake… And far too much like possession.

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