My January Duke by Kate Bateman
An outrageous demand.
When bailiffs interrupt her disgraced father’s funeral, Olivia Price doesn’t think her life can get any worse. . . until her obnoxious(ly) handsome neighbor, Devlin Hamilton, Duke of Dalkeith arrives — and claims Olivia as payment for her father’s outstanding debt.
One scandal too many.
Beautiful, headstrong Olivia has been a thorn in Devlin’s side for years, so when fate puts her at his mercy, he can’t resist stepping in. He’ll sate the passion that burns between them, but keep his heart intact.
A battle of wits and wills.
But as Dev tries his wicked best to seduce her, Livvy’s equally determined to resist temptation. She’s loved Devlin in secret for years; how can she convince the jaded, cynical duke to give her not just his body . . . but his heart and soul as well?
