A marriage of convenience between a Scottish duke and an American heiress turns sizzling in this final entry of USA Today bestselling author Scarlett Scott's delightfully wicked Dukes Most Wanted series.
American heiress Madeline Chartrand has a problem. Her matchmaking mother is determined to secure an aristocratic husband for her, despite her wishes to the contrary. Lachlan Macfie, the newly minted Duke of Kenross, has an even bigger problem. Heโs just inherited a moldering Scottish estate, crumbling castle and all, without the massive funds necessary to repair and run it.
Fortunately, Lachlan has the perfect solutionโa marriage of convenience. Itโs a simple enough arrangement. Madeline gets the duke her mother hopes for, and Lachlan can restore the estate with the help of her vast dowry. All he has to do is convince the stubborn and delectable Miss Chartrand that marriage is the answer to both their quandaries.
Madeline doesnโt want to wed anyone, least of all the burly Scot who trampled her train and spilled champagne on her gown at their first introduction. Heโs too tall, too brash, and too overwhelming. She doesnโt even like him.
Until theyโre stranded alone together and Lachlan proves heโs not just capable of protecting her from danger, but kissing her witless. Suddenly, Madeline finds herself facing an entirely new problem. Sheโs falling in love with a man who wants a marriage in name only. But can she settle for a forever if she canโt have his heart?
Heat level: Scorching hot! Don't say you weren't warned.
