Love was never part of their deal.
A WOMAN HIDING FROM REGRET.
After winning the deed to a cottage in a card game, Camelia Parikh believes her luck has finally changed. A cozy, coastal village is the perfect place to begin again, far from London and her mistakes. Until the stern Duke of Wednesbury arrives to claim the deed and cottage as his.
A DUKE RUNNING FROM GRIEF.
Raaz Panchal, the Duke of Wednesbury, is on a mission to regain the missing deed to his late father’s beloved cottage. But when he arrives at the property, a charming stranger claims the home is hers. Her deed proves genuine, so mystery solved and matter over, no? Yet fate intervenes, collapsing the stable roof. He’ll stay to help, of course. Only out of duty to his father’s memory. Certainly not because of her sunshine smile and alluring amber eyes.
CAN THEY HELP EACH OTHER?
Mischief abounds, making it impossible to keep their distance from each other. It’s difficult to remember the differences in their stations, or their hurts, while waltzing, wagering, and badger wrangling. Surrendering to the sparks will only lead to heartbreak, and still, they reach for dangerous dreams. But what if this is more than temporary temptation, what if Camelia and Raaz were meant to find each other here to heal?
THE DEED WITH THE DUKE is a steamy, lust-at-first-sight Regency romance with a grumpy Indian hero, a sunshine Indian heroine, and adorable animal antics.
