The Duke’s Auctioned Virgin by Sally Vixen

“Everyone is so willing to obey you!”
“You aren’t. Are you not afraid of me, Duchess?”

Valeria’s awful husband is dead.
Afraid she might be forced into yet another marriage, the virgin Duchess takes matters into her own hands…and runs an auction for herself.
But it’s not money or power she seeks. The winner must prove that he’s gentle, protective, and humorous.
She half-hopes no one would win…until the Crown’s Hound joins.
And villains like him do everything better…
***
Duke Edward’s title is still fresh, so he needs connections to settle into London life.
But everyone fears him…except for the little hellion who seeks a groom.
The moment she defies him, he knows he must have her.
And he’ll break through each one of her defences till she moans his name…

*If you like a realistic yet steamy depiction of the Regency and Victorian era, then The Duke’s Auctioned Virgin is the novel for you.
