But is desire enough to bring two wary hearts together? And once Kit’s wounds are healed, will Georgiana’s love be enough to make him stay?

With husband and wife beneath the same roof at last, their marriage of convenience sparks into a passion that’s as undeniable as it is unexpected. Seriously wounded and his cover ruined, Kit’s forced back to London where he finds a townhouse brimming with creatures and a wife who can’t bear the sight of him. The day he married her, he left for a secret assignment in America, with no intention of returning.

He was content with his life as one of Her Majesty’s most dedicated spies until his brother’s unexpected demise left him forced to marry an American heiress to save the family estate from ruin. Kit, Duke of Leeds, never wanted to be duke. Until, that is, the duke returns, and she uncovers the truth about where he’s been… She finds all the fulfillment she requires in caring for the stray cats and dogs of London’s streets. But she isn’t the sort to wait around pining for an arrogant oaf who can’t bother to recall he has a wife, no matter how sinfully handsome he may be.

Georgiana, Duchess of Leeds, hasn’t seen her husband since he left her on their wedding day for an extended hunting expedition and never returned. You may find out more about the author on her website. I have received a free e-copy of the book Her Deceptive Duke by Scarlett Scott to review.
