Synopsis

All of London gossips about the Duke of Montrose. A recluse. Inflicted with a terrible disease. A gargoyle with a terrible temper. But he's also the most important patron of the centuries-old book shop that belongs to Miss Elizabeth Sharpe's family. Now she's been charged with delivering books to the Gargoyle of London herself—or risk their shop falling into ruin. But surely a duke can't be that ghastly . . .

Garrett Maximilian doesn't give a tinker's damn what society says about him. Most of them are sycophants, bowing and scraping in his presence. But not this proud, redheaded spitfire of a woman standing before him. In fact, nothing makes him feel more alive than Miss Elizabeth tartly criticizing his books. Perhaps he just needs a plan to keep her close . . .

The duke's glower doesn't terrify Elizabeth as much as it fascinates her. And worse, he looks at her with a dark hunger that should make her shake with fear—not desire. But Elizabeth's father has sinister plans in store for his daughter . . . and this beastly duke might be her only salvation.

Contains mature themes.

Now, she loves to write her own roguish dukes, alpha males, and the heroines who tame them.

The one good thing I’d say was the fact they started off as book lovers, which made them good friends. But after finishing the book, I felt they were better off as friends. They d......more
