If he's lucky, perhaps he can convince her to be wicked with him just once. Or maybe even forever...

Daphne Raven is happy with her prospective betrothed. He'll be the perfect husband?meek, mild, and unlikely to stir any emotional chaos within her. But when she travels to London for her wedding attire, all it takes is one night at a ball (and a passionate case of mistaken identity) to shatter her faultless plans and make her question everything...

The last thing Corey Jefferson, Duke Renford, wants is a wife. A mistress will suit him?and the scars of his past?just fine. He thought the stunning mystery woman he kissed at the ball would be his ideal paramour. Until he discovered who she really was...and realized she could never be his. No matter how much he wished things were different for them...

When all is said and done, are the wicked rake and the innocent wallflower destined for happily ever after?or a lifetime of heartache?
