A Duke Always Gets What He Wants
A Duke Always Gets What He Wants
Description
In a matter of a few days, Ethan's bachelor residence transitions to a home with three ladies, one of which proves to be exceedingly distracting.
Persephone Carlisle was the most beautiful woman Ethan had ever seen, but she was the best friend of his sister not to mention an innocent. While he had no qualms about seeking the bed of a young widow or an unhappily married lady of the ton, he did have scruples when it came to taking a woman's innocence, so Persephone was off limits. But every time he sees her, he feels drawn to her and the possessive jealousy he feels every time another man glances in her direction was driving him mad. He wanted her in his bed, but marriage was not on his immediate agenda.
Persephone was excited about the season and all the enticements London has to offer, but the duke's sudden interest has her confused. She knew exactly the kind of man he was, she had read about his exploits in the scandal sheets for years, so she knew that it was a mistake to let him get too close. However, she found it increasingly more difficult to ignore his seductive glances and his kisses were enough to drive any girl to the brink of madness. But he was dangerous, and Persephone knew that falling for his charms would only lead to ruin. Ethan was accustomed to getting anything he wanted, he was a duke after all, and he wanted Persephone in his bed if nothing more. But the lady had sworn to marry only for love, a ridiculous notion especially for ton marriages. But when danger threatens and he is faced with the prospect of losing her forever, he begins to wonder if love is as impossible as he first thought. Unfortunately, he may have waited too late to share his feelings. Would he be able to save the woman he desired above all others, or would this be the first time a duke did not get what he wanted?
