Biweekly marriage proposals from men who can't see beyond her (admittedly breathtaking) looks are starting to get on Lady Clara Fairfax's nerves. Desperate to be something more than ornamental, she escapes to her favorite charity. When a child is in trouble, she turns to tall, dark, and annoying barrister Oliver Radford. Though he's unexpectedly found himself in line to inherit a dukedom, Radford's never been part of fashionable society, and the blonde beauty, though not entirely bereft of brains, isn't part of his plans. But Clara overwhelms even his infallible logic, and when wedlock looms, all he can do is try not to lose his head over her . . . It's an inconvenient marriage by ordinary standards, but these two are far from ordinary. Can the ton's most adored heiress and London's most difficult bachelor fall victim to their own unruly desires?

USA Today bestselling author Loretta Chase crafts a smart, steamy, brother’s best friend, second-chance historical romance, a bold new entry in her Difficult Dukes series. Trouble ahead... Her reckless brother is on the road to ruin — or worse — leaving the ducal title and estate in the clutches of their spiteful, vengeful cousin — and Lady Alice Ancaster’s future in peril. She needs to find a worthy husband, and fast! Anyone but him! Trust the Duke of Blackwood, her brother's equally disreputable best friend, to mess up her careful plans. Right now, he’s acting like a hero (reluctantly), but she knows better; not only is he a force of chaos, he’s the man who stole— then broke — her heart. Simply Irresistible... Blackwood knows he's not husband and marriage material; in fact, he promised her brother to give Lady Alice up, for her own good. The problem is, she needs his help, and he can’t resist...he certainly can’t resist HER!
