The Truth About Cads and Dukes (Rescued from Ruin Book 2)

<b>When a wager goes wrong €¦</b><br />Painfully shy Jane Huxley is the furthest thing from a diamond of the first water. Bookish, bespectacled, and, well, <i>plain,</i> she never expected to befriend a dissolute charmer like Colin Lacey, much less agree to help him retrieve a lost family heirloom. Fortunately, he is nothing like his cold, rigid older brother. Unfortunately, he is not above deception if it means winning a wager. And that puts Jane in a most precarious position.<br /><br /><b>A formidable duke will marry a plain Jane €¦</b><br />For Harrison Lacey, the Duke of Blackmore, protecting his family honor is not a choice, it is a necessity. So, when his cad of a brother humiliates the unwitting Lady Jane, Harrison must make it right, even if it means marrying the chit himself.<br /><br /><b>And a marriage of convenience will become so much more €¦</b><br />Her reputation hanging by a thread, Jane agrees to wed the arrogant Duke of Blackmore, although she€s convinced it will result in frostbite. Only after lingering glances lead to devastating kisses does she begin to suspect the truth: Perhaps€"just perhaps€"her duke is not as cold as he appears.
