When Seducing a Duke by Kathryn Smith

Enchant. Tempt. Entice. Beguile. Just a few things a woman must do when seducing a duke . . .
Rose Danvers charms her way into the glittering masked ball with only one man on her mind. She would risk certain scandal for a kiss from Greyden Kane, Duke of Ryeton—though she lusts for much, much more . . .

The ravishing woman in burgundy takes Grey’s breath away. She reminds him of the sheltered beauty entrusted to his care, the only one who has ever touched his icy heart. But Rose would never allow herself to be so indiscreet, so ruled by passion . . .

Believing their forbidden embrace a terrible mistake, Grey knows he must do the honorable thing and find Rose a husband. But Rose will not be pawned off for propriety’s sake. She will not rest until her seduction is complete and she has the duke bedded, wedded, and deeply satisfied. All he has to do is say yes . . .

These two have a bumpy journey to make toward redemption and happiness.

Excerpt

What the hell was he doing? He asked himself this very same question every time he came here. And he never liked the answer.

It reminded him that he was alone while more than a hundred people gathered beneath him, just out of his reach. He didn’t like people, and that feeling only intensified when they gathered in groups like vultures hovering over a dying stag.

If he didn’t find her soon, he would have to leave. Find relief in more auspicious and unsavory environs.
