Never Beguile a Duke - Wayward Dukes' Alliance, #30

Nothing ruins a lady's reputation faster than a stint in prison. Conned out of her innocence-and freedom-by her mother, recently pardoned Winifred Fernsby-Webb resigns herself to the role of the protective older sister, rejecting every suitor before they learn of her shameful past. While hosting a weeklong engagement event, the request to act as a buffer between Winifred's restrictive presence and her betrothed younger sister is made of Silas, the Duke of Beaufort.
After accepting his friend's desperate plea, Silas commits the one act he vowed never to do: fall in love. However, when his amorous dalliance triggers an insidious scheme resulting in Winifred's kidnapping and ransom demand, she doubts the strength of the Duke of Beaufort's affections, fearing he's abandoned her to the whims of a vindictive criminal. Fans of Christie Caldwell and Darcy Burke will delight in this seductive concoction of love, revenge, and second chances. Order now to discover what complications can result when a lady eschews her decision to Never Beguile a Duke. *Book 3 in the Dukes and Wallflowers Regency romance series.
