Duke with a Desire

By Scarlett Scott

From USA Today bestselling author Scarlett Scott comes a decadent age gap historical romance between a notorious charmer duke and the off-limits lady who can never be his....

Ophelia Melville, Lady Corbett, has secretly become a hostess of the Wicked Dukes Society to secure her children's futures. After her profligate husband left her nearly destitute, she hasn't much choice. But having guarded her reputation with exacting care, Ophelia has no intention of indulging in the hedonistic house parties of the sinful club. Until one man shatters her icy restraint.

Apollo Isdale, Duke of Prestwick, isn't just a notorious rake who has left a trail of broken hearts scattered in his wake over London. He's also the wickedly handsome brother of Ophelia's dearest friend, seven years her junior, and entirely wrong for her. Engaging in a dalliance with the charming, reckless Apollo is a gamble she can't afford.

Apollo has long harbored a tendre for his sister's forbidden friend from afar. When fate brings the lush widow into his arms, he has no intention of letting her go. Courting ruin has never been so tempting, but the resulting scandal has the potential to cost them both everything. With a powerful enemy determined to tear them apart, Apollo must prove he's a risk worth taking for the only woman who holds the key to his jaded heart.
