“I shall be your husband in name but I will never claim you.”

Vowing to be the end of his family line, Duke Edward never shares his bed with the same woman twice. So when an alluring vixen asks him for a night of passion he has no reason to refuse her…

After her failed engagement, Arabella is done with the marriage mart. Until she's caught almost kissing the worst rake of the ton. And now she has no choice but to be his bride.

Their marriage starts with a promise: live separately after six months.

Only, parting with her husband seems impossible when he finally gives her what she craves most. A taste of his lips and a night in his bed.
