A lady who must follow all the rules tangles with a duke who loves to break them. Most ladies would be thrilled to receive a proposal from a handsome duke only weeks into their first season, but Olivia is not most ladies, and the circumstances are less than ideal. After a family scandal left their coffers empty and their reputation on the rocks, Olivia must marry someone rich with an impeccable pedigree. A man with shaky finances and a taste for risky adventures is exactly wrong for her, no matter how charming his smile.     Ivo Fitzsimmons, Duke of Northam, did not expect to find a wife. He planned to spend the season shoring up his smuggling enterprise and looking for new ways to keep his estate afloat. If meeting a lady like Olivia surprised him, that was nothing compared to refusing his proposal. She has feelings for him, he’s sure of it. Now he’ll spend the season proving he’s the only man for her—if only he doesn’t get arrested first.

Raised in a foundling home and now proprietor of a successful club, Gabriel Cadieux hasn't ever been welcomed by polite society. But when he discovers he's the legitimate heir to a dukedom, he must make a choice: accept the debt-ridden title and the trappings of the peerage who shunned him or decline and leave his six rebellious half sisters to fend for themselves. As much as he hates the idea, Gabriel can't abandon his siblings, even if it means making a deal with the most frustrating--and aggravatingly beautiful--woman he's ever met. Vivienne Tremeer storms into Cadieux's club with one thing on her mind: get the loathsome owner to discharge her brother's gambling debts. So when Gabriel offers her a trade--if she'll teach his wild sisters the ways of the ton, he'll clear the notes--she has no choice but to accept. But with her reputation already on a knife's edge, falling for the duke could cause the scandal of the season.
