The Duke's Revenge
Marlene Suson
YOU ARE TRYING TO FOB ME OFF. BUT I SHALL HAVE YOU! I ADORE YOU!
Miss
Alyssa Eliot's virtuous heart sank as she listened to the Marquess of
Stanwood's wild declaration. The silly moonling was but nineteen, and
Alyssa, at five-and-twenty, was firmly on the shelf. Whatever would his
fierce father, the Duke of Carlyle, do when he learned of such a
mesalliance?
Even so, no one could have predicted Carlyle's
wrath--or Alyssa's strange attraction to him. Only thirty-six, and still
smarting from his deceased wife's scandalous behavior, he was more than
willing to brand Alyssa a scheming strumpet.
He would teach her a lesson she would never forget... and learn one about love in the bargain.
