The
controlling old duke’s last wishes.
The
mysterious new duke’s first demands.
And I'm the
headstrong new duchess who’s caught between them.
From an American billionaire’s daughter, to
almost a duchess, to actually a duchess…it’s been a strange 24 hours.
Our plan
was simple, if not scandalous. Me, the 29-year-old daughter of an American
billionaire, marrying him, the ancient Duke of Manly on his hundredth birthday.
But then, neither of us has ever been conventional. We were each going to get
something we desperately desired out of the marriage. For me, it wasn't money.
And it certainly wasn't sex. The plan was working so well. Until Manly dies at
the altar before saying "I do." With his dying breath, Manly
maneuvers me into a marriage of convenience with his hot, mysterious heir, Ren
Sattler, the new duke. Suddenly I'm drawn into the mysteries surrounding the castle
and Ren—mysteries that threaten my hopes of saving the estate and my
marriage…not to mention my heart.
DUKED is a
sexy, standalone modern marriage of convenience story that blends billionaire,
modern gothic, and contemporary romance and has a happily-ever-after.
