A Duke of Convenience - Paperback

by A. S. Fenichel (Author)

Their marriage begins as a bargain, but quickly becomes impossible to resist.

She needed a husband.

He needed to repay a debt.

Neither expected to lose their heart.

After the deaths of her parents and the mysterious disappearance of her beloved brother, Effie Becket finds herself at the mercy of a ruthless cousin determined to force her into marriage-and steal everything she holds dear.

Alexander Lynds, the Duke of Gorham, owes his life to John Becket. When a desperate letter from his wartime friend begs him to protect John's sister, Alex does the only honorable thing he can.

He marries her.

The marriage is meant to be temporary. Once he uncovers the truth behind John's disappearance, he'll set Effie free to choose the future she deserves.

But being so close to the spirited beauty proves far more dangerous than anything he faced on the battlefield or spying on the enemy.

Effie sees only the fiercely honorable man beneath the duke's carefully guarded secrets. Alex sees an innocent woman who deserves far better than a soldier haunted by the horrors of war. Every stolen glance, every heated touch, every forbidden kiss makes walking away nearly impossible.

As the search for John uncovers dangers that could destroy everything, Alex must decide whether honoring his promise means letting Effie go...or risking everything to claim the only woman he'll ever love.

A marriage of convenience, a haunted war hero, sizzling chemistry, and a villain that threatens to tear them apart make A Duke of Convenience a steamy Regency romance filled with passion, danger, and a well-earned happily ever after.
