How To Compromise A Duke by Mihwa Lee
She’ll turn a scandal into a happily ever after whether anyone approves or not.
Miss Violet Linton refuses to be destroyed by a scandal.
So when London’s most notorious young duke boasts in White’s betting book that he compromised her virtue, Violet does the unthinkable: she refuses to deny it.
At eight-and-twenty, with Mad Madelyn as her mother and a family name the ton already whispers about, Violet sees opportunity where others see ruin. If a duke wants to use her reputation for sport, she’ll use his name for survival.
But instead of an easy capitulation, the Wayward Duke Alliance sends its most feared member to silence her.
Henry Vexley, the Duke of Iredell—the cold, widowed “Reaper of Iredell”—expects a desperate spinster. What he finds is a woman bold enough to suggest that if he wishes the scandal buried, he ought to marry her himself.
The proposal is meant to be practical. An heir for him, security for her, and nothing more.
But Violet is nothing like the meek, grateful bride Henry expected. Every argument, every scandalous touch, every heated clash threatens to undo him.
And when enemies turn deadly, Henry realizes too late that his convenient wife has become the one thing he cannot afford to lose.
