He needs a bride…
Nash, the “dangerous” Duke of Malvern, has always bristled against the rules of English society. Hot tempered and fearful of becoming like his brutish late father, he lives a life of too much responsibility and too little joy. And although he’s vowed to never marry, a duke has a duty—and there’s only one way to get himself an heir and a spare. So Nash reluctantly takes a look around at society’s available young ladies to see who might be willing to put up with his one-word answers and frequent glowers.

She longs for love…
After the death of her father and wicked stepmother, Ana Maria goes from virtual servant to lady-in-training, and while society life has its benefits—gorgeous gowns!—its restrictive rules stifle her sprit. And when her independent actions put her in danger, her half-brother insists Nash teach her some self-defense. While most of London’s ladies find Nash intimidating, she only sees a man who needs introducing to all the joys life has to offer. So although officially they are coming together for fighting lessons, unofficially their physical contact begins to blur the line between friendship and begins to grown into something more…

Library Journal….”Nash, “dangerous” Duke of Malvern, never wished to marry. When his grandmother informs him he must wed or risk losing the dukedom to a cousin as violent and volatile as the father who claimed Nash was “just like him,” Nash sets out to find a wife solely for the sake of securing an heir. Nash is not prepared to have his heart thrown into the ring when he finds himself enchanted by childhood friend Ana Maria, now an independent and wealthy woman intent on living a life on her terms after being an unpaid servant in her recently deceased and wicked stepmother’s home. Ana Marie’s society-defying decisions make Nash fear for her safety, leading them to strike a bargain. He’ll teach her self-defense, and she’ll help him choose a wife, but they end up fighting for the choice to have each other instead. VERDICT A captivating second in the “Hazards of Dukes” series (after Never Kiss a Duke). Frampton deftly handles heavy subjects of abuse and neglect without ever losing the light of her characters’ spirits or tamping down the steamy, slow-burn romance. Ana Marie’s Cinderellaesque rise and banter with the notoriously taciturn Nash will enthrall readers
