The Duke Identity by Grace Callaway

Welcome to the Game of Dukes, a world that draws from London’s finest drawing rooms and its darkest rookeries. Some dukes are peers of the realm, others lords of London’s underworld, but all are relentless in their pursuit of justice, power, and passion. These commanding men will meet their match—in the strong, feisty women who capture their hearts.

The Duke Identity Shattered by betrayal, former scholar Harry Kent has made a new life for himself as a police man. Sent on a dangerous covert mission, he must protect a clever and wicked beauty who stands for everything he scorns—and who seduces him with every look of her innocent eyes…

A princess of the underworld, Tessa Todd longs for freedom. Yet, fearful of cutthroat enemies, her powerful family keeps her under lock and key. When they assign her a standoffish and damnably handsome new bodyguard, she resists his dominant ways—and a passionate war of wills begins… Thrown together by crisis, Harry and Tessa will test the bounds of desire, loyalty, and trust. On the run from their foes and from their own hearts, they must find salvation in each other—before time runs out.
