What this book is about

Alexandra Lawrence rescues Jordan Townsende, Duke of Hawthorne, from a near-fatal situation, and he repays her by making her his duchess — a role she's wholly unprepared for and he's wholly unsuited to provide guidance on. McNaught's voice is rich and emotionally intense; this is one of her most beloved Regency romances, with explicit content and deep emotional arcs.
