The Duke of Caversham is the last man on earth Lady Selina would marry - no matter how often he asks, how much he offers her, or how tempting it is to let him steal another kiss...

Malcolm Locke, the man they call "His Gorgeous Grace", is everything Selina hates about powerful men. He's reckless, arrogant, and all too aware of his own chiselled jaw. That's why she's determined to stop the power-hungry duke buying a local election. Someone has to teach His Grace to behave.

The first lesson? Kissing a woman until her heart glows isn't enough to make her forget her dreams. Selina is determined to wield her powerful family name for good; she'll never sell out to the duke.

Everyone knows that roguish Malcolm is in dire need of a respectable duchess and an heir - not to mention an end to his rivalry with Selina. But why is he so determined to pursue the one woman who'll never have him? Selina's not sure she wants to know the answer. Her wounded heart is more than she can risk. But she'll happily take on the duke in the political arena, if a war is what he wants.

There's only one possible outcome. Defeat for one. Victory for the other.

Unless there's a sweet surrender in store for them both...
