“Wake up.”ĭid he know that voice? Keeping one hand clapped over his eyes, he fumbled about with the other hand. Something dull and pointed jabbed his side. He’d need jewels to get out of this, no doubt. He inhaled and smelled perfume of an indeterminate, expensive sort.ĭamn. Just a vague impression of a feminine presence nearby. The epic duration of his celibacy was no doubt the reason he’d been tempted by … whoever she was. The next time you decide to bed a woman after a months-long drought, at least stay sober enough to remember it afterward. “Griff.” The voice came to him through a thick, murky haze. But more than a year has passed, and Halford’s life has changed.Īs to whether the man himself has changed, you’ll have to read the book to find out. The Duke of Halford made a brief-yet-scandalous appearance in A Week to be Wicked as Colin’s debauched libertine friend. Even if Society could accept a serving girl duchess-can a roguish duke convince a serving girl to trust him with her heart? That name’s familiar… Haven’t we met this duke before? Keeping Pauline by his side won’t be easy. She’s a brave, quick-witted, beguiling failure-a woman who ignites Griff’s desire and soothes the darkness in his soul. Her duties are simple: submit to his mother’s “duchess training”… and fail miserably.īut in London, Pauline isn’t a miserable failure.
That dream becomes a possibility when an arrogant, sinfully attractive duke offers her a small fortune for a week’s employment. All she wants is to hang up her barmaid apron and open a bookshop. Overworked and struggling, Pauline Simms doesn’t dream about dukes.
Griff decides to teach her a lesson that will end the marriage debate forever. Griffin York, the Duke of Halford, has no desire to wed this season-or any season-but his diabolical mother abducts him to “Spinster Cove” and insists he select a bride from the ladies in residence. What’s a duke to do, when the girl who’s perfectly wrong becomes the woman he can’t live without?
