The Infamous Duchess: Diamonds in the Rough: 4 [Mass Market Paperback] Barnes, Sophie

When the Duke of Huntley discovers his new wife isn't the gentle wallflower he expected but a woman with a scandalous past, their marriage of convenience becomes anything but. Viola Cartwright has spent years rebuilding her reputation after a youthful mistake destroyed her standing in society — now she'll do whatever it takes to protect the respectable life she's clawed back. But Huntley's determination to uncover her secrets threatens everything, even as an undeniable attraction pulls them together. Sophie Barnes crafts a Regency romance where second chances collide with stubborn pride, and two people who've both been burned learn that love requires the riskiest gamble of all. For readers who want their historical romance with bite — damaged characters, real stakes, and chemistry that doesn't play nice.
